Wanderlust

These Chinese zodiac pendants came from a dusty box of Chinese ink stamps I stumbled upon in an “antique” shop in my hometown, Providence, RI. The pendant depicts the monkey which is said to be the most versatile sign of the Chinese zodiac. Such people are often inventors, plotters, entertainers and the creative geniuses behind anything ingenious, including mischief. I I love the way the monkey seems to be looking right at you, like you caught it doing something. The pendant is two inches wide and long. There are two champagne diamonds in the eyes to make the monkey look extra cheeky.  The monkey is 1 1/2 inches long.
