Artisan Sterling Sodalite & Pearl Abstract Modernist Pendant Necklace C. 1980s                  Measurements: Pendant: 2"L x 1.5"W x .3"Thick (5.08cm x 3.81cm x .76cm) Chain: 23"L (58.42cm)                                              Markings: Capital B inside a circle 925 Weight: 21.2g A stunning display of craftsmanship in the pendant. Pendant is solid sterling silver sand-casted with a large deep blue Sodalite cabochon gemstone as the central feature. Additionally it has asymmetrical strands of sterling layered around the edges and over the top of the Sodalite. Finally it has 3 gorgeous bezel set pearls, offset in a triangular cluster. I have paired it with a thick and extra long chain for just that added touch of drama and flair. Overall the set is in excellent condition with no damage of any kind. The style and marks lead me to believe from my research, it was made in Israel as early as the 1960's but no later than the 1980's. Mannequin is a life-size torso representation
