The pendant is a Ming dynasty-era porcelain shard salvaged and repurposed into a pendant, it is silver-plated over copper/brass, it has a raw look to it since it is hand-wrought and has a slightly yellow tint. The porcelain features a hand-painted crane, the origin of it is from old Chinese kiln sites. The chain is vintage, marked 18K GP, it is a brighter whitetone and is mesh-like.

It has a pink tint towards the left side of the profile which is frosted and looks as if she is floating within. She really stands out when worn, not so much in the photos because of the white background, so this is nicer in person. The glass is set on two oxidised-brass settings, one with prongs and one with a rope design border.
