Judy’s Answer: The raised (light) parts are shiny silver. The sunken (dark) parts are kind of pewter colored. Q: I really like the Flying Geese Pendant, but how long is the chain? With my roly-poly neck, I need a longer necklace chain. Judy’s Answer: The "chains" are black nylon loops, choker style. Providing high-quality silver chains would boost the price, and everybody wants a different length and style--silver or leather or satin or whatever---so it's expected that most people will just use their own chains. The large flying geese pendant is quite large---almost too big for a necklace. They make those up as pins also. Q: I’d like it “opera” length pendant. So, it would be easy to “attach” your own chain or leather cord? Judy’s Answer: Yes. It has a loop ("bail") on the back that the chain/cord slides through, accommodates many different chains as long as one of the ends is small enough to slide through the loop. I own a bunch of chains and cords and all of them work just fine. If "opera length" you might want the larger pendant. It's about 2" long, 1-1/4" wide. I don't have mine here right now (It's in Oregon) so can't tell you exact size, but the small Fly Geese pendant is about half that size. I think the large pendant is too big to wear on the 16" chain I normally use, so I use the small one---but if I were wearing it on a long chain I think the larger one would be better..
