The pendant measures 2-1/2 long, including the over-sized inlaid bale, and weighs 23 grams. The main pendant measures 2 long by 1-1/4 wide by almost 1/4 thick. Even the bale is inlaid and on a curvature, no less. The bale has a usable interior diameter of about 1/2-inch, perfect for silver beaded necklaces or several strands of beads.
