Bird shaped from Mother of pearl sits on a tiny white freshwater pearl and hangs on a silk string thread (color choice is for the string - string in main image is black). Bird ranges in color and is two colors from white to blackish brown The piece connects together with a sterling silver clasp. Bird measures a little over 1/2 inch wide. Comes on a card with the quote, "Wish upon this charm as you put this necklace on. When the thread wears out, believe your wish will come true." If you would like a longer or shorter string, let me know when you checkout what length you would like.
