For Jill

This custom project was designed around the client's stones with a suggested theme of a snake.  Midway through, we discovered the original stone for the project wasn't real (it was significant because it was gifted by a friend, but in the end the client decided she wanted a family heirloom piece to pass down).  So, we sourced a similar sized turquoise stone that I cut and polished to near perfect size.  Then we resumed finishing the piece with family stones of a sapphire and diamonds.  We paired the pendant with a sterling silver snake chain.
