I have purchased these items in Peru in the past... I use them as pulls on light fixtures or ceiling fans. I bought these to use as pulls as well. They're so pretty and festive. And they serve a wonderful purpose! They're also very cute to wear as a casual necklace!!
Your necklace is so beautiful. I bought it for my sister's birthday. She adores it. She sent me a message as soon as she received it, and snapped a photo of her wearing it and sent me the text.
