African Pendant NOTICE: These pendants are not being sold by CCI. Sue Hedberg purchased and is selling these items independently. Therefore, this item must be purchased separately from other items on the page. CCI is not retaining ANY funds from sales of this item. CCI families do receive a discount. Shipping is included in the price. This African pendant is the perfect gift for anyone adopting from any African country. Sue was told they are made of brass, but it has been our experience that these pendants do not "turn" even when worn consistently in the shower (not guaranteed). The pendants are approximately 1"-1¼" tall. Some pendants have silver-colored filling in the writing. The writing is the names of some of the Western Africa countries' capitols. Please note if you prefer the silver or brass colored writing in the notes section of your order.
