Stylized waves of tropical colors: yellow, cerulean, sky blue, turquoise and lavender glisten in this colorful French enamel and sterling pendant. French enamel is glass, that has been fired in a kiln over a carved base of precious metal.  Once fired, the enamel takes on a vivid, almost metallic appearance with a high gloss finish.  This pendant, inspired by Rio de Janeiro's vibrant culture, has been fashioned as a linear rectangle, with a patchwork of carved, concentric lines.  The pendant has a tapered bail and comes on a sterling silver coreana chain, adjustable up to 18 inches long, with a lobster claw clasp. Both the pendant and chain have a rhodium finish, so they won't tarnish.  The pendant measures 1.25 inches long.
