Groovy Dolphin Love Necklace Pour Moi!

I made this necklace for me! I'm nuts about dolphins, but you probably already know that . . .

The pendant is mother-of-pearl, with a clear glazed finish, so it reflected quite a bit. It's curved inwards, with the resin Dolphin area nestled within. It actually looks ALOT better in person; I had been leery of these type of pendants, as the online pics of them are not very good. It looks awesome in person, though, especially since the scan kinda flattened out the depth of it.

I was going for a 60's/tie-dye look, with the multi-colored millefiore. As it's for me, and I used all the millefiore in this color I had, there's a few off-drilled beads near the back; I don't care, for myself, but I'll replace them eventually so people don't think I do shoddy work. You can't really see, but I know they're there.

I put 4mm mother-of-pearl beads between the glass beads; the ovals didn't sit as well with nothing between them.

This is a LONG necklace, at least for having a pendant. It hangs just below my chest.

Following through on the dolphin theme, the sterling silver clasp is a pair of dolphins that hook through the tails together.
