When Pigs Fly Quartz Pendant Necklace, Gold Vermeil Discontinued Black spinel has long beenA gold vermeil pendant necklace with a winged pig in relief on an oval medallion, framed by a fine beaded border. A single emerald cut green quartz sits in a bezel at the top, adding a clean point of color above the scene. The 'when pigs fly' motif gives the piece a wry, optimistic spirit, a nod to making the improbable happen. An antique style finish keeps the gold warm and matte rather than bright. It hangs from a fine Cuban curb chain at the chest.
