This is a special Faberge style egg pendant, because it opens up to reveal a tiny angel. This is a beautiful piece of jewelry from Russia, made out of a pewter base, enamel paint, sparkly crystals,and gold plating. The egg itself is about 3/4" in size, while the whole pendant (from the top of the bail to the bottom of the hanging angel) is Approximately 2". A special small hole at the bottom of the locket allows you to wear the pendant with the angel dangling outside of the egg, if you wish.
