Eight tentacles extend from where the skull meets the neck, each one individually detailed with rows of suckers along the underside. A faceted black onyx sits in the skull's forehead, catching light against the darkened silver around it. At 30mm × 62mm, this is a big pendant. You see the tentacles before you see the skull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.3em; color:#1a3a6b; border-bottom:2px solid #c8a96e; padding-bottom:8px; margin-top:32px; margin-bottom:16px; font-weight:700;\"\u003eWear This If\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f8f6f2; border-inline-start:4px solid #c8a96e; padding:14px 18px; margin-bottom:12px; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0; color:#2c2c2c; line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a3a6b;\"\u003eIf you want a pendant with two identities\u003c\/strong\u003e — From a distance, it reads as an octopus. Up close, the skull reveals itself.
