The Celtic Druid's Egg Pendants
We have added two new Celtic "Druid's Egg" pendants to our Etsy shop. These Druid's Eggs, which are our original design, were crafted from air dry clay. A rich copper patina was added to give these pendants the appearance of aged bronze. The pendant featured above was beaded with copper colored glass beads and old African trade brass beads. The pendant featured below hangs from a leather cord that can be tied to accommodate many necklines, and is easily removed if you have a favorite chain you prefer to use.
