My Young Womens' Medallion was never getting worn, so I thought to give it a better looking environment than the small gold chain it came on. Now I can wear it to church with an updated look.
I liked this necklace, but wasn't quite satisfied with the pendant, so I added a couple swarovski and a pearl to the pendant drop. Robert drilled the hole in the pearl a little larger to accommodate the pin. I also reduced the necklace length to choker size so that it wouldn't hang too low.
This piece consists of a mother of pearl hibiscus pendant, wooden and glass beads, and abalone "coin" shells with a barrel clasp. I wanted it to be a womens' necklace that had a slightly masculine touch; not to frilly.
