The bottom drop is a Naga Conch shell topped with a Repousse beadcap. The Conch shell has inlaid Turquoise and brass set into it and a bottom cabachon of Turquoise. They drop from a center pendant with side drops of two brass ox tiny link chain tassels. The chain is a lightweight rolo chain.

The Conch teardrop is 2". The tassels are 1.75". The total drop is 3.5" x 1". The top bead is 15mm. The necklace length is 16.5".

Repousse is the art of embossing or pressing shapes into thin metal to create a design. This process has been used since ancient times to make everything from jewelry to religious Icons. Its almost a lost art nowadays.
