Dove Pendant Design

Description

Something I did a few years back that I forgot to upload here...I drew the dove pendant design (seen on the printout), and commissioned jessa1155 to make it as a Christmas gift for my aunt (biancalana2010), who came to visit us for Christmas two years in a row. She's in TX, and I'm in Norway, and she's disabled, so it's quite a long and difficult trip for her to make, and so I really wanted to get/make her something special. Before my grandmother died, my aunt lived with her and took care of her for years, so this pendant was a memorial to the woman we both loved so dearly and thought of as a saint with a heart of gold. The haloed, silver dove is my grandmother's spirit, flying up to heaven, and the monogram on the backside is her initials, Q and L, combined into one letter, and adorned with a crown because her name was "Queena". The pink heart stone is rhodochrosite. As you can see, Jenna does absolutely amazing work, and the pendant came out just as I pictured it! :) You can see more views of it (including the engraved monogram on the backside) here: jessa1155.deviantart.com/art/Q…

Edit: This piece was stolen from my aunt when she was burglarized one Thanksgiving. So if anyone spots this popping up for sale anywhere, please let me know. More details here: swandog.deviantart.com/journal… And I need to try to find another jeweller to remake it for me. *sigh*

So so sad, I am the Aunt that this was make for and my house was broken into and this piece was stolen. There will never be anything I loved more or that meant more to me than this. My mom was very special to me and Tiffany and this was one of my most treasured necklaces. If anyone see this necklace on ebay or anywhere for sale please let me or my niece know immediately. thanks...
