A bead I just couldn't resist

When I saw these beads for sale online they reminded me of others I used years ago and thought I might be able to make earrings with them, but when they arrived it was clear that the bead actually is far to heavy to wear as an earring, well I wouldn't be happy wearing them, so I had to consider an alternative use for them.
It is a beautiful bead and I am very happy with it as a pendant drop

 I can also see ways of using it which aren't necessarily jewellery related which I might try at a later date.
