Nani' Ishto' Pakali' Pendant, Sterling Silver and Ruby

Translating to "Shark Flower" in Chickasaw, these strange pieces came about rather by accident. Exact models of real shark's teeth make the petals surrounding a large and brilliant lab Ruby, nestled in it's rounded and textured bezel setting. Lately every dream I have is filled with snakes and especially sharks, the balance keepers of the ocean, the sacred clean up crew, upholding the highest in independence, adaptability and absolute survival.
