Once a upon a time 30 years ago I went to Indonesia to poke around and see what I might find to use in my work. I have a love for mother of pearl buttons and given the amount of clothing being made in that part of the world, there were good odds of finding button factories.

I talked my way into one of the factories and as I walked through the work shop, I saw button blanks on the floor. These are what was left over after the buttons were drilled. I lost all interest in buying buttons and much to the owner’s surprise, I asked to buy the blanks instead. I picked up as many as I could and left feeling like a dragon taking my treasure back to my lair.

I drilled holes where I wanted to put Pearls and voila.

Measures approximately 24” to the bottom of the pendant.
