ABALONE Bead Pendant with Crochet
Two-sided iridescent abalone shells (2shells together made into a pretty bead), caged in with crochet.
I drilled the shell bead on top and bottom so I could stitch the waxed cord "cage" to the bead, making the design secure.
The 18" long handmade cord is done with a loop & knob closure. (Making the cord is the most time-consuming part of this design!)
The cord is pulled through a loop on the pendant.
The crocheted pendant looks different on both sides - wear it however you like!
