Simple but stunning

I chose this for the lovely shape and color - I knew it would be a unique addition to my collection. I love it even more in person - the stone has a substantial, pleasing feel. The color is a bit greener than the picture appears (difference in how our computer screens show color, probably), but it only means I am pairing it with different clothes than I planned, not that it is any less beautiful.

Perfect size and color

My initial reaction upon seeing this pendant was "okay... it's cute". I liked it but wasn't overly impressed by it because I considered it small. I tend to prefer bigger pieces. However, this has since become one my all time favorite necklaces! Its size is perfect for layering with other necklaces and the color of the stone is very eye catching. I find it rather calming to wear. Will definitely buy from the artist again.
