I've always been a Magpie since childhood. My eyes are constantly scanning the ground on the lookout for shiny treasures that glint in the sunlight. My hobby of metal detecting taught me that people drop things wherever they go, so the best places to find things are areas that get plenty of foot traffic. Over the years i've found lots of silver and gold jewellery just walking about town. Rings slip off fingers, earrings unclip themselves, and pendants occasionally wear through there mountings and fall off their chains unoticed.
That's what happened with this pretty Moonstone and Silver pendant. The constant abrasion between the loop and chain slowly weakened the metal untill it eventually broke free. It's stamped 925 on the back to signify its purity of Sterling standard. I found this lying on the road edge next to the pavement where rubbish generally collects. But nothing else shines like Silver in the sun so my eagle eyes were straight on it! 👁👁
