A gal who can stand on her own two feet, who appreciates assistance and knows when to ask for it, but does not require it at every turn...proudly independent, and we're proud of you.  (And perhaps even channeling you in this design!)  Polished opal beads show the most amazing colors and patterns in five draping strands, and the addition of tiny faceted brass beads from India adds a hint of golden without the flash.  It's a beautiful backdrop for a hand-crafted bronze filigree pendant from the Yoruba people of Benin and Nigeria, the fine filigreed coils and twists overlapping like the most proud of plumes from the peacock.  A Yoruba bronze clasp fastens the look at back, measuring 19.5" in length.
