The pendant is a slice of one of my polymer clay kaleidoscope canes. The slice was baked, then sanded, buffed, and polished with an acrylic coating to protect it from skin contact. The finished size of the pendant is 1.125 inches wide and 1.25 inches long.
I've taken many small slices of a bullseye cane and marched them around the edge for interest.
The necklace is made from antiqued brass chain and Czech fire-polished crystals with sweet little brass bead caps. The finishing touch is a brass-toned "S" clasp.
The necklace is 18" long, but if the winner wants it longer, I can do that. We'll tawk.
Be sure to spread the word - the winner need not be a regular reader. I'm so happy to have kept this blog going for so long, I want to share my joy.

I just won a giveaway here so don't count me in for this one, but I wanted to tell you how much I love this necklace. The pendant is stunning.
Hey thanks for coming by my blog! I can't believe you're giving away such a pretty necklace - you're very generous :).

I can't believe you're giving this away, but if you're going to anyhow... throw my name in the hat too! I'm crazy about kaleidoscopes!
I've really enjoyed your blog (and even the Sunday What's Cooking?); it's no surprise to me that you're already at your 200th post -- it's been enjoyable for us all the way.
What a most beautiful necklace; please do count me in your drawing. I love your other jewels too and your blog is fascinating. I am visiting from France ... via A fanciful twist and a whimsical bohemian.
Have the most beautiful day!
