For this necklace I used a teardrop centerpiece ceramic cabochon I had made in a shop in Smokey Point, Washington.  I've used size 13/o gold charlotte cut glass beads for the appliquéd frame.  The fringe accents include genuine porcupine quills, genuine stabilized turquoise gemstone chips, and sterling silver plated feather charms.  Backed with genuine pigskin leather.  Beadworked piece measures 2 1/4 x 6 5/8 inches and hangs from a sterling silver bail and a 24 inch sterling silver curb chain.

The wolf mostly represents intelligence, leadership, and a  strong sense of family.  The wolf is a teacher, it returns to its pack after extensive forage to tell everyone about new observations and experiences. It lives in a close-knit family circle without sacrificing its independence. It chooses a partner to whom it is faithful throughout its life. When the wolf howls at the Moon, it identifies with its power, its spiritual energy, and the unconscious through which all knowledge can be accessed. The wolf can give you the power to become a teacher for others to understand life better and find their own path. The wolf energy will also enable you to establish a connection with your own inner leader.  From Wolf, the great teacher, we learn many virtues.  This mighty creature represents love, healing, relationships, fidelity, forgiveness, loyalty, generosity, and companionship.

Though  the necklace is a ONE-OF-A-KIND creation and has been SOLD, I can create something similar with your choice of colors, beads, accents, and with/without matching earrings.  Visit my Cabochon Gallery for your necklace inspiration, then just contact Sunshine for your custom order needs.
