Unique, surrealistic pendant, made of silver adorned with a beautiful cabochon of Polish striped flint (stone mined only in Poland) and freshwater pearls. Every single detail was created separately, totally by hand, to form this three dimensional, sculptural piece. True one of a kind. Oxidized and polished. Total length of this piece is 6 cm (2.36 in). Width in the widest place is 3 cm (1.18 in). The chain is 42 cm (16.5 in) long (plus additional regulation).
The name of the pendant is really hard to translate. It's deeply rooted in Polish culture. "Strachy na Lachy" literally means "Fears against Poles" ("Lachy" old/colloquial name for Polish people), but the whole expression is about fear, but not a real one - when someone is trying to scare you, but you just want to say "yeaaah, right", you can say "Strachy na Lachy". "Stworzeń" - the name of this particular pendant - is a neologism derivated from a word "creature" - as the whole pieces looks like a weird, surrealistic, complex creature. If you have any questions, please ask.
