Mosaic Frog Pendant Necklace by Brian Yatsattie

Brian is one of the most creative carvers we have the pleasure of working with! Seen here is a Frog pendant carved of a whole shell where Brian's overlaid an assortment of things like green turquoise beads, jet and nice chunks of apple coral. He's raised two of the turquoise beads to represent eyes on this amphibian pendant that's 2 3/8" wide, 2 1/2" long and 5/8" thick.
The beads Brian's chose for the necklace are quite lovely: green turquoise beads in the neatest shape around, as well as smaller matching beads. Overall necklace length is a fashionable 23". - $560.00
