MOSAIC DOVE PENDANT:
This funky folk art style Dove pendant will definitely be a conversation piece & put a smile on anyone's face who see's it!! Guaranteed,people will be drawn to it & you'll be asked about it everytime you wear it!
The Dove is designed in Mary's whimsical-Folk Art style & is mosaic inlaid with an explosion of colorful stones & shell that are all hand cut & like a painter with brush in hand,she then goes on to lay each piece in their appropriate places.One thing that gives Mary her identity & what why we love her art so much, is for the fact that the cuts aren't meant to be perfectly shaped,thus giving each piece the overall whimsical look they have!! When she incorporates the shell into the design,she then takes from their shape so they can be used to help create her subject. A perfect example of this is,is used on the curvature of the dove's tail.
Designed with a XL bale opening that is fully mosaic inlaid with horizontally laid multi colored cuts of various colored materials that follows the entirety of the bale.The cuts are mosaic inlaid atop of bone that surprizingly works perfect for bales!
Pair this with your favorite colored bead necklace or Navajo Pearls! (Single strand or multi starnds)
