Here's my latest, a Steampunk-themed Dragonfly with metallic and jeweled accents, perfect to adorn a Special Lady's frock or hat.

Now, if only I knew a Special Lady...

Well I am married but I like jewelry. How large is it? Is it a pin, pendant, or multiuse? I tend to wear things as pendants because I don't like putting holes in my clothes.

I'll work on a pendant, choker, perhaps? Or hanging lower?

That seems like a good size for a pendant, but large for a choker pendant right up by the neck. A pendant with a loop for a chain, I could just put on any length chain I already have. I have a fair number of chains around.

ETA: The problem with pendants on a choker, is the neck is at an angle. If the pendant is too large and/or spiky, it sticks into your neck.

A choker pendant? Or lower hanging?
