This serpentine pendant is handcrafted from 14K/20 gold filled wire and a serpentine cabochon (cab). This stone is a pretty, translucent shade of green with various inclusions floating in it.  There are some small pits on the surface of the stone.  (As well as a lot of reflections.) 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 3/4" x 2 1/2" 20mm x 62mm 6mm bail
