Veronica The scarf is super soft and well made. The colors pop despite the fact that it is made up of gray tones. There is warmth and comfort to the feel of the scarf around your neck but the weight of the scarf around your neck is light. I would definitely order from this artisan again.

Edward A beautiful blend of the secular (a Christmas tree) and the sacred (a Nativity scene). Every figure is handmade and exquisitely done. Everyone who sees it, admires it.

D Dale Wow. This is a very unique, feminine, delicate piece that is so lovely. The beautiful amazonite against the highly-polished silver is striking and delightful. The silver "branches" lie flat and comfortable because they are not fused but instead are held together with silver links. Thus they "drape" wonderfully down the neck and chest. The creator is a true artist; the flowing design of this piece is marvelous. You will not find other necklaces like this. Bravo!
