This hand-painted Russian lacquered miniature features a ballerina/angel floating on a radiant background of deep blues lit by a pool of light. The black onyx pendant (1-3/4" x 3/4") has been painstakingly covered with many layers of oil paint, egg tempura, gold foil, and lacquer to create the dramatic effect. The pendant, crowned with a 14K gold rondel and 24K Swarovski crystal, hangs from a gold wire wrapped chain of blue freshwater pearls and tiny sparkling Swarovski crystals. 28" ONLY TWO.

Wore this with a tee shirt and jeans then to work with a simple black dress. Plan to wear out on the town next! Gorgeous and fun. Love everything I get from Bess Heitner.
