A Naruto fan asked if I could come up with a version of Tsunade's necklace. Since I don't have much personal familiarity with the series, this is based on various screenshots/artbooks and pix of several other cosplay replicas around the web.
I've got three possible different centerpiece stones: from left to right, green aventurine, blue aventurine, or amazonite. All of them have the same shape: ~2"-long hexagonal prisms tapering to a point. They're (non-interchangeably) strung onto 2mm black satin cord. The necklace length is somewhat arbitrary, depending on where the cord ends are knotted together behind the neck.
The little side drops are stamped metal magatama (the loose one near the bottom is there to show the side profile). Each magatama has three tiny granulated designs stamped onto the back, as shown with the green aventurine; they have a slightly different look if turned the other way, as shown with the amazonite. The latter looks closer to the lowered round drops that're usually shown.
If you're interested in buying one, let me know-- at the moment, I have about ten pendants in each stone.
Across the globe, 27 million men, women, and children live in some form of slavery. That is more people at this moment than in all the centuries of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Something must be done. This contest serves two purposes: Raising awareness about human trafficking and raising funds for the Not For Sale organization.
Open to all mediums. Deadline is March 10, 2010 @ 11:59pm PST.
