I'm going to start posting my newest necklaces. They are whimsical and the most detailed work I have done. These necklaces are animals wearing kimonos. The first image is kyokuba monkey. Kyokuba means acrobat in Japanese. The monkey is holding a carved piece of jade and hanging from his tail, on a necklace of copal amber, chinese nickel silver beads, carved jade and bone, copal with Tibetan silver, Thai silver and carved bone and sterling clasp. The price is $385.00.
