Amulet of Plot Advancement

While my fiance noted that it should be titled the "Valuable Yet Unpawnable Amulet of Plot Advancement", deviantART doesn't offer that much space for a title. Either way, it's better known as the Amulet of Kings.

I do humbly apologize to any viewers who were somehow still unaware that I am an unbelievable nerd.

Anyway, in my continuing efforts to practice and improve my beading and wireworking techniques, the inspiration struck to make this.

For the center "stone", after having tried several other options (being that I am sorely lacking in gigantic red diamonds), using tons of red seed beads seemed to work the best... there are also quite a few other artistic licenses taken, like the swirls, but hey, it's made from wire and beads, mimicking faceted stones and cast metal, so I'm fairly proud of it.

Nerd, nerd, nerd...

This is based off of the item in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is owned by Bethesda Softworks, though the wire design is a creation of my own.

The pendant itself measures approximately 1 3/4 by 2 1/2 inches.
