It can be daunting trading one career for another, especially when there are PhDs involved. But for Mary Steratore, it led to true artistic expression. Leaving archaeology to create her own fine art, Mary settled in Rome, where her paintings and sculptures were well-received. After showing her work throughout Italy and the US, she developed a new line of jewelry inspired by her sculpture.

Cute charms terrible chain/clasp
I bought 8 of these as thank you gifts for friends who helped me after my husbands sudden death. I love the Rumi quote and the charms are sweet. The chain is very cheap and the clasp is not made for middle aged clumsy fingers. I'm going to send different chains to all of them

This was the perfect gift for my maid of honor
It was packaged BEAUTIFULLY, and so intentionally. You can tell the creator spent time creating a quality item. I gave this to my maid of honor along with a box of other things and she's put it on and hasn't taken it off since!! It's so complimentary with any outfit, and is as simplistic as it is beautiful. 10/10, I'm so happy with it and so is she!!

Nice sentiment for a best friend
I bought this for a very close friend of mine who I don't get to see much anymore due to the virus. She's a very special person to me and she did love reading the caption and putting on the necklace. It's the little things! #sweepstakes

Elegant and timeless
I gave this necklace to my gf. I had ordered a pair of earrings from the same artist last year so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Everything about this necklace is elegant and meaningful, from the actual jewelry to the gift presentation in a beautiful box with a quote from Rumi. #sweepstakes

Yes, this necklace comes beautifully packaged and is ready to give as a gift. The presentation is thoughtful and intentional — arriving in a quality box complete with a personalized note and a quote from Rumi. Multiple buyers have noted that the packaging alone made a strong impression before the recipient even saw the necklace itself.

Its simple, elegant design pairs naturally with a wide range of outfits, making it easy to style whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual.
4. Does this necklace work with both silver and gold jewelry?
Yes, this necklace works well with both silver and gold jewelry, making it a versatile piece that will complement most existing collections.

5. What occasions is this necklace appropriate for?
This necklace is appropriate for a wide range of meaningful occasions. Buyers have given it as a wedding party gift, a retirement gift after 28 years of service, a Christmas present, a welcome-to-the-family gesture for a new fiancée, a friendship keepsake shared among a group of best friends, and even a heartfelt token of gratitude to someone who helped during grief. The meaningful design and message make it a fitting choice anytime you want to honor a significant relationship or milestone.

Does the Neckless have the quite engraved on it?
Verified reply from Melody
No, the quote is not engraved on the necklace - it is too small for that.
