The symbolism and beauty of this piece is best said by the artist.
“God gave me Exodus 31 in a rough time and this is the first design after receiving that gift of scripture.”

“The entire necklace shows Christ's ongoing work of salvation. As a shepherd's staff reaches down into the swirl of humanity to bring a lost soul to God. The center stone, peitersite, is a unusual natural stone that is comprised of three distinctly different minerals (trinity). The tree on the back represents the tree in the garden, by which we were lost. The pivotal cross on the front is the "tree" by which we were found. On the right are souls via Christ entering the presence of God. This necklace is entirely hand fabricated.”

Dear Ron, This is a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry: made even more exquisite with the expose' you wrote to go with it! Nice photographic presentation too.
