This rhodochrosite pendant is handcrafted from 14K/20 gold filled wire and a rhodochrosite cabochon (cab) from Argentina. This is one of my favorites. It is a long piece and will make a statement. It has layers of color down the length, from the translucent gemmy tones at the top to the pink and white patterns at the bottom. 14K/20 gold filled wire is basically a tube of 14K gold with a jeweler’s wire down the center for flexibility. It wears well, does not tarnish, and has the same allergy reactions (or non-reactions) as 14K gold. Each of my cabochon pendants are "one-of-a-kind" and you are selecting the actual one you will be receiving. The chain is not included, but I do have a selection of chains if you need one. approximately 7/8" x 2 7/8" 23mm x 73mm 9mm bail
