Jewelry I made some time ago
This neckace is one I made using my husbans art..I made it double sided because I couldn't decide which to use,,so I used both. The little bottle has a key in it.I wanted it to symbolize the wrongs done and the key to show the "door"opened to change.
I hope you like it.
