All Sterling Silver and Artisan Heavy Gold Plated items come in a gift pouch. This striking pendant measures 2.5" and has an amethyst stone set eye. It is cast in .925 sterling silver. It comes with a 18"sterling silver chain, which is treated to prevent tarnishing! Absolutely pristine carving, with a unique design using negative space. Signed on the back. It has one bracket across the back for sliding along the chain. A beautiful 18" 8 sided sterling silver snake chain is included. These are super sparkly because of the angled cut of the chain. I love these because they really set off the silver jewelry nicely. The chains are also treated to prevent tarnishing.
