Caroline's Jewelry with a Past is offering a mid-century modern sterling silver pendant handmade by studio artist Paul Miller c. 1950. The pendant features a solid asymmetrical, arrowhead-shaped pennant as the centerpiece. This solid piece is surmounted by a rounded wire that becomes flattened, then again into rounded and finally flattened.
