  • Lovely pendants these are! Makes a very nice necklace!

  • Thank you Harald. I think so too. It`s dear to my heart because through an intermediary it introduced me to Sarah and eventually this site. Sarah kindly spent some time researching the origins of the pendants for me. You probably know already that the butterfly and the frog are symbols of reincarnation among many animists.

    Parts of two separate necklaces are being shown here.
