Statement Lion Inlay Shell Pendant Necklace Black Onyx Rose Quartz Beads 18”

This striking artisan statement necklace features a bold lion head pendant crafted in a mosaic inlay of mother-of-pearl and shell, forming a powerful, graphic design. The lion—symbol of strength, protection, and leadership—is rendered with exceptional detail using layered shell segments in soft blues, blush pinks, and pearlescent whites against a dark ground.

The necklace is hand-strung with black onyx beads, accented by rose quartz, white shell chips, and gold-tone spacers, creating a balanced contrast of strength and softness. Finished with a secure gold-tone clasp.

This is a true wearable art piece—dramatic yet elegant, perfect for collectors of artisan, symbolic, or statement jewelry.
