The Nutcracker Ballet, which is performed during the Christmas season, is the inspiration for this nutcracker necklace. The pendant is about 1 3/4 inch high and slightly less that 1/2 inch wide and has a movable jaw lever and a red Swarovski crystal cabochon in the hat with six multicolored faceted crystal buttons. The pendant is Britannia with a rhodium finish, which is silver in color but does not tarnish, and the satin 3mm neck cord is about 31 inches in length. My hallmark is engraved on the base of the piece.
