I love this piece by the skilled artisan, Ashanti! It is of considerable size and makes a bold statement--a necklace designed for those whose style is adventurous and spirited. The jasper stone is a rich delicious red with veining the color of unbleached linen. The tablet has been masterfully carved into a robust pear shape. It is weighty and earthy--just as it should be--and is cool and smooth to the touch. A multi-wire stainless steel strand holds the pendant secure, and its soft satin silverly sheen is in subtle contrast to the gloss and color of the jasper--most elegant in its simplicity. Don't let this one get away! Thanks once again O!
