I don't know how it's done, but the result is beautiful. It's almost too pretty to wear. I feel like it should be in a glass case. I have worn it, though and have received so many compliments.
As a frequent traveler to Central America to explore Mayan ruins, this piece is a fine tribute to the culture of the Mayan civilization. It will now go with me when I travel...many thanks to the artist for a job well done!!!
I had not thought to be charmed by an octopus, though they are cool creatures in real life. But this depiction of sea life was something I wanted to my great surprise & I am happy that I bought it. I'm wearing it now!
