Victorian era meets the digital age with this antiqued Victorian jewelry styled pendant. A beautiful dressy way to display your favorite photo. A mother-of-pearl opal glaze on the cabochon stone glows up through your picture, which has been made semi-transparent. An almost holographic effect happens when tilted in the light when colors seem to turn metallic and the mother-of-pearl colored background appears much like an opal.

Pendant setting is framed with an antiqued, gold plated, Victorian era design and holds a 30mm X 40mm cabochon. Measures 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" high. Included are bail and cable necklace chain with lobster claw fastener. Choose length of either 18" or 24". Metals in frame and chain are silver (shown on left) or gold plated brass. To see gold version pass your mouse over image at left.

Also available coordinating heart charm earrings. When ordering specify if you are sending a digital picture through email or a standard paper photo in the mail.

Prayer For a Cat

Treat me kindly, dear master. Accord me the courtesy due to a cat — and I for my part will love you, amuse you and cheer your heart as only a cat can do.

Give me a sunny spot to sleep in when morning dawns and I will warm your lap on cold evenings.

Respect my independence and my need to walk alone at times and I will look after myself, so that you may come and go as you please.

Speak to me in our secret kitty language, let me hear my name sung in the music of your voice, and I will meow happily in sweet harmony with you.

Stroke my fur gently and lovingly and I will soothe you with the soft purrs that can only come from a happy cat.

Indulge my curiosity and I will show you the joys of bird watching, star gazing and other kitty pleasures.

Play with me and see me rejoice! Toss a humble ball of yarn and I will delight you with my cleverness and acrobatic leaps.

But do not laugh at me or allow me to be teased for there is nothing I prize more than my dignity.

Keep my surroundings neat and clean and I will be fastidious in my habits.

Feed me and be fair and I will teach you how to tell "kitty time" by instinct and tummy tunes.

And when I am old and the time comes to say farewell, hold me gently in your arms and I will go without a whimper.

For with you I am trusting, safe and secure. A cat who walked alone but loved you with a full and happy heart.
