Three small Bengal cat photos (each with a different pose) are transferred onto three snow quartz gemstones which dangle from this kilt pin. The side beads are puffed ovals and the middle is a diamond pillow bead. The photos are repeated on the reverse side.
If you're not familiar with a kilt pin it was originally designed to pin a kilt (or wrap skirt) shut. Now this pin has risen to a whole new level with dangling crystals and stones and can be worn across the collar, shirt pocket, hat band, purse strap . . . let your imagination set the limits.
The Snow Quartz gemstones are hand-cut and best described as looking like shapes of frozen ice with swirls ranging from opaque to translucent. Like all gem stones no two are ever exactly the same. A tiny vein or fleck in the quartz is natural. Due to the opacity of the stones the Bengal pictures have an almost stained glass effect. Goldstone gems top the side beads with Czech crystals are above and below the center bead.
The gem stones are approximately 18mm (3/4") across. Photo will be aprx. 5/8" around. The pin is gold or silver plated steel with 3 loops and is 3 1/4 inches wide, the longest dangle being about 2 inches.
