A Koala (actually not a Bear) but teddy bear cute, poses on a Eucalyptus branch in this digitized painting. The cabochon beneath has a mother-of-pearl opal glaze, that seems to glow through the transparent picture making the koala appear luminous and metallic. .

An antiqued gold rope necklace pendant setting, appeals to all tastes. Pendant holds a 30mm X 40mm cabochon and measures 2" from bottom tip to top (excluding bail) and is 1 1/2" wide. Included are bail and necklace chain. It is shown with a 24" ball chain with spring fastener, but you may also choose a cable chain of either 18" or 24"in length with lobster claw fastener. Metals in frame and chain are gold plated brass.
