Okay, these pendants are not everybody's cup of tea, but they seem to be very popular on the coasts--we just don't have the same marine life around Nebraska! The octopus figures are formed from old silver plate forks which have been cut off at the handle and bent back into a loop at the top of the fork shape for a chain to go through. The tines are bent and pounded flat, then burnished with my Dremel tool to give them a really great texture that doesn't show up on this photo. A finish of spray laquer helps keep the silver from tarnishing, although some people like the tarnished look.
Necklace with blue beads and metal necklace - $18.50
Octopus pendant with no chain - $15.00
If you are not ready to wear an octopus necklace, how about an elephant? These silver plated forks were changed into GOP elephants. Three of the tines were cut off and the fourth was bent into a trunk. The GOP letters have been metal stamped into the forms, and they are on a split ring which could be used as a key chain, or removed and a chain threaded through the top loop to wear as a necklace.
GOP Elephant pendant/key chains - $7.95
