It's a UNICORN! Beloved mythological creature and also a term of endearment for a well behaved horse! Hand finished with an Amethyst stone set eye (light purple). About the Artisan Gold Plated Collection: "Artisan" to distinguish it from regular commercial gold plating. After I do all of the metal finishing on my jewelry, I send it to a plating company and order the thickest gold plating available. This is usually reserved for heavy wear objects like belt buckles and rings. This striking pendant measures 1.25 high and 1.50" long because of the protruding horn! It comes with an 16" 14ky gold vermeil chain. The chain is a stock chain, not the Artisan Absolutely pristine carving. It has a bracket cast onto the back for sliding along the chain. Very Three Dimensional, hollowed out on the back to allow the chain to pass through. This piece is signed. Forge Hill Sculpture offers fine jewelry realistically priced. There is NO middleman, and each precious metal piece comes directly from the studio. You are buying from the original designer.
