I purchased this item for my teenaged son. He loved it, but loved it even more when it came with a hand-signed card from the artisan. Now when people compliment him on it, he recounts the artist's story.
I sent this item to my sister as a gift. She called me excited to tell me how beautiful it was and marveled at the artists beautiful carving of the whales. She even remarked on the lovely gift pouch it came in.
I just received my "star tower" pendant and is just absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship and detail is just amazing. I am proud to own this pendant and tell its story to others who see this pendant around my neck.
