A river flows, polishing the past and letting us remember.

This piece was constructed around 7 pieces of petrified wood that were found and drilled by me. The beads joining them are Indonesian glass beads and tubular picture agate with fossilized coral and a sterling silver clasp at the back.

The necklace measures 20 inches around.
