The large pendant is really a huge, old brooch from a special family friend--don't know date and no markings on back. It seemed appropriate to be worn on a high neckline blouse, which I never wear, so I fashioned a necklace out of it by making a length of green dyed pearls with a split ring jump ring at each end that can be looped through the brooch pin.
