"Great quality and heavy weight"
This is a beautiful sturdy piece. Sometimes pieces with this level of detail can be flimsy and easily damaged, but this will not. I love the theme of the union of heaven and earth. If you think you would like this necklace, you probably will love it--- it is even better than pictured here.
Best Uses
- lovely gift for someone, or yourself!

"love style and artists work"
If this had a much longer chain it would be perfect. I rarely wear it because it just doesnt look right so high on the chest.

"Striking"
I get so many compliments on this necklace every time I wear it! The intricate design of the cross is striking, and the theme is meaningful. The size does make a statement, but its not so big that its overpowering. The chain is unique and compliments the pendant beautifully. High quality. Very pleased.

"Lovely!"
I am just delighted with these half moon earrings. They are so unique and I m surprised to find out that the design is based on 19th century illustrations, which makes them all the more special! Receiving a handwritten card depicting the country of origin is such a special touch. I very much appreciate it!
