The Pendant : For this necklace I started with our popular STARGREY .999 pure silver pendant which I recreated based on the original art work of Kathy Hoynes. I then carefully mounted it to a very substantial sterling/ turquoise/amethyst/peridot pendant. This large stunning focal pendant measures 90MM, or just over 3.5"" from the top of the bail and is 30MM (1.25") wide

The Necklace: I strung beautiful 15 mm disco ball , deep purple aurora borealis, Czech glass beads between Bali style silver spacer beads for a striking look. This necklace sits beautifully on the neck and compliments almost any neck line. 18" long

The Closure: 15mm, sterling silver, enameled clasp

WHAT IS THE GREYHOUND STARFISH CONNECTION?

Those familiar with greyhound adoption may also be aware of the starfish poem and how it relates to the mindset of those who adopt these elegant, gorgeous, deserving, hounds.
My inspiration for these jewelry pieces stems from my personal identification with the poem.

The Starfish Poem

As I walked along the seashore
This young boy greeted me.
He was tossing stranded starfish
Back to the deep blue sea.
I said, "Tell me why you bother,
Why you waste your time this way.
There's a million stranded starfish
Does it matter, anyway?"

And he said, "It matters to this one.
It deserves a chance to grow.
It matters to this one.
I can't save them all I know.
But it matters to this one,
I'll return it to the sea.
It matters to this one,
And it matters to me."
