Surviving life's ups and downs with acceptance is one of life's most important lessons.  The artist designed this necklace with that in mind.  She has set a fossilized Dinosaur Bone in Fine Silver (.999).  It has touches of warm browns and red that she again highlights with an Art Glass bead by Vicki Lee and the intricate Japanese seed bead rope the pendant hangs from.  The rope reminded her of simmering coals in a campfire.  The clasp is a Sterling Silver wireworked finding decorated with a matching Art Glass bead, Poppy Jasper, and Puca shells that survived the 70's.
