Chicken and Boulder Fire Opal Egg pendant

What do you do with a boulder fire opal that looks like a cracked egg? Why you create a chicken in a basket!

I electroplated the chicken with copper a number of years ago while playing. I had no idea that some day she would be the perfect size to sit on top of this gorgeous opal. I actually have 2 more chickens, but they'll just be cackling quietly in storage I think for awhile.

Electroforming is a process using electricity where metal atoms from a copper sheet are transferred to an object which in this case was a plastic chicken.

Ingredients:
copper electroformed chicken
boulder fire opal
leather
sterling silver
20" sterling silver popcorn chain

One of a kind pendant for a one of kind adventurous woman!
