A 2" whale is suspended from a flowered, ornamental finding, and a miniature nautical wheel charm dangles about 3  up one side of the chain. All components of this delicate, asymmetrical necklace are brass. Originally named the "Moby Dick" necklace, this piece was inspired by Melville's classic novel, and by American whaling history and folklore from the 19th century. Chain length is about 16 inches, so the whale hangs just below the collarbone and the captain's wheel nestles into the hollow of the clavicle. Brass spring ring closure.
