Not sure how old this nice 1.25" sterling pendant in the Northwest American Indian Tlingit style is. Marked MAG (metal arts group) and MEO. I found a pendant like it below.

I looked through my stash....decided to use a white "arctic fox" fetish bead as a toggle, some 4mm pearls and silver rough pyrite beads in this 17" necklace. I am not a balanced gal (hee hee), so didn't care if there were more pearls than pyrites. Plus - I like showing off the toggle. Made this yesterday and - I'm happy with the result.
Very unique. :)
Thanks SpiritBear - I've had this pendant for such a long time. Yeah, I wear it on a silver chain but felt like doing a little something more. Hoped you would approve :-)
I do indeed.
Hi Ms V! You did an amazing job, I love this piece!!! As I was looking at it, and the ebay linked one, I thought yours was so much nicer and then I see you made it. It's beautiful!
Hi Share - thanks for your sweet comment - the pendant is the real post but doing a little more...that's my 2nd obsession.
The photo for the pendant jumped at me...it's fantastic.
Then I saw it's chain and went WOW!
Then I read it - you made it! Clever and stylish.
Thank you Karen. I enjoy mixing old pieces with new. Thanks for loving this and your nice comments!
Thanks Kevin and NevadaBlades for your loves.
I love that little polar bear also. You did a very nice job making this one. The pendant is beautiful, a piece of art in itself !
Val you and Kyra seem to have the gift when comes to jewelry. Beautiful custom piece. :)
Pendant is beautiful and all your creativity shows through the beads matching!
Love the little fox too :-)
I think it turned out great!
Since I posted it my oldest sister asked for it as her birthday present - since I just made this Gam, you might have to wait for a year or so.
Thank you friends - Caper, Bonnie, Aura, Brunswick, Mel, glassie, ted, ho2, hunter, petey and rose for loving.
Thanks Phil - the sterling pendant is the main focus.
Thanks Mike - Kyra and I enjoy working with our obsessions!!
Thanks Kyra - I knew you would get all the components. The white stone fox has been waiting, he's probably not a real Native American fetish bead but he is well made and completely right for this.
A great "upstyling"job!
Thank you davyd286 - I enjoy upcyling and recycling and just restringing. I appreciate your nice comment.
Thanks friends for all this love: Spirit, Kevin, Nevada, Share, Karen, Phil, Mike, Caper, Kyra, Bonnie, Aura, Thomas, Mel, Glassie, Ted, ho2, Hunter, Petey, Rose, Trey, Betty, Elisabeth and Gargoyle!
I missed this first time around - it's quite beautifully made. A combination by two of the best. Delightful.
Thank you Gillian for your comment on this - I think it turned out very nice. Haven't worn it yet....
