    Winged victory is looking a bit defeated here are though perhaps her wings have been clipped and she is a bit befuddled.

    That's right, PippaD! I was fortunate enough to visit family in Germany back when I was in college. We took a train to France for a couple days because I couldn't be that close and not visit the Louvre!

    The statue is amazing, and I hope all of you get to see it in person someday. Thank you for all the comments!!

The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
