The Platypus Necklace

Who wouldn't want this adorable, egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal adorning their neck?

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young.

Cast into Sterling Silver and has a bail soldered onto the back, it will hang gracefully from your neck. The back is hollowed out to lighten it up, but it's still made up of a lot of sterling silver.

Size: From bill to tail he measures 1 3/4" and his leg span is almost one inch wide.
