Mini autumnal Californian surfite necklace

Description

This dinky little pendant features a rounded triangle of retro autumnal surfite which is bezel set in sterling silver. The surfite has gently sloping stripes in shades of green (olive and khaki), orange and beige - something about it makes me think of the 60's. This pendant is much smaller than I would normally do and measures approx 27mm (inc bail) by 19mm and comes complete with a sterling silver chain, the bail would fit a cotton cord or leather thong if you wanted to put it onto something different. It comes in a sleek black box. Not come across surfite before? Its the name given to layered up waste of epoxy resin that forms during the glassing stage of making surfboards (that's when they cover the foam core in resin), normally this waste material get thrown out but people have started realising that it has a beauty all of its own and recycling it into things like jewellery. This material came from a workshop in California, I normally cut my own surfite but when one of my lapidrist friends turned up this rather retro colour way I indulged and bought from him. Love the idea of surfite but not this piece - drop me a message I have a stash of rough so might be able to help out. Measures 27mm by 19mm.
