Gorgeous dolphin pendant!
I applaud Mr. Krainer?s artistry and craftsmanship on this pendant. I have seen smaller, less detailed pendants for $180! Not only is the detail on the front gorgeous - the back has a beautiful filagree design that allows you to see the larimar there as well. Few artists demonstrate such care and detail on the back of a pendant! It is not too heavy and just the right size if you don?t want a huge pendant. This was given to me as a birthday present. I chose this over the inferior and overpriced pendants in department stores because of the attention to detail and knowing that this purchase will help Mr. Krainer?s work. This certainly would make a great heirloom piece.

Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
