Waziri Opal necklace (3)

The focal of this fun and eclectic piece is an antique pendant made by the Waziri people who live between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I’ve removed the original glass cabochon and in its place created a resin opal. It has a large dark rhinestone and cloudy layers over hints of iridescent shards.

It hangs on a leather cord which is embellished with mismatched vintage beads of glass, clay and metal. Also included is a antique Victorian boot button, and a citrine briolette.

Mostly vintage beads on either cord end lead to a handmade hook and extender chain that ends in a secret pendant. This includes dangles of vintage amber, stick brass glass, quartz nugget and my own handmade thread button.

Adjustable from 16.5 to 20”. Let me know if you need it lengthened at no cost.
