It measures 26mm x 28mm height, and weighs 6.35 grams.

Custom Project
We are able to offer a custom project to either convert this into a wearable pendant, or maintain it as a brooch and add a hidden bail so that it can be worn as a pendant-brooch. This would cost an additional $125. Downtime for completion is approximately 8 weeks. Please Contact Us if you would like us to arrange this for you.
