I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wind at a gala that our oncology patient advocacy organization hosted, during which he kindly donated a generous portion of all of his event sales to our meaningful mission of helping cancer patients and their families. I purchased this necklace and was delighted to learn of the history behind the pieces and have worn this two different ways since then. Please continue to make thoughtful and beautiful wearable art such as this!
I got this necklace because when I used to go to NY with my mom on buying trips when I was little. We would have tea at the Plaza hotel. Now I forever have a piece to remember those special times with her! Necklace is gorgeous!!
Necklace could not be more beautiful and can be worn different ways!!!
