The inspiration for this Starfish Cactus Pendant on Beaded Necklace is an actual starfish cactus flower that a good friend of mine found in her daughter's garden in Australia. It is a very unusual flower and plant to someone from the US. I was inspired by its graphic qualities.
 
This replica of the actual flower was made in bronze, using metal clay. The texture was special ordered to match the actual flower as much as possible.
 
The pendant is hung from a beaded necklace which brings out of the brown and gold colors of the actual flower. It measures 20" in length, and is closed with a bronze lobster clasp. The necklace can be shortened - just make a note in comments when you place your order.
