Kristin,
We received the necklace and both of us were so blown away at the level of art the piece is, and thrilled by the new discoveries we find just by looking at it...studying it...letting it talk to us.  We are BOTH so happy with this piece of art.  As I say:  Adequately advanced art is indiscernible from magic.  Your works are truly magic things.
Again, thank you so much for your talent, and making a special event even more special. 
Best Regards,
Gary
