The Autism Puzzle necklace and earring set

Description

The Autism Society uses a puzzle piece in their logo. It signifies that autism is only a piece of the whole person and also that the organization is working to help find answers to the puzzle of autism. This necklace was created with that organization in mind. My daughter is on the Autism Spectrum, and she is a piece of pure joy in my life! I wouldn't change a thing about her for she has taught me many things through the years with the challenges and experiences we have had.

The focal point of this necklace is a silvery puzzle piece on which read words such as "family, hope, truth, charity, humor, joy, kindness, passion"... all words that are important in the life of each of us! The handbeading is done with mother of pearl circles, ovals, and discs, jasper rounds, African opal discs, and tiny serpentine and glass seed beads. The beading on each side is different to symbolize the interesting and unique perspective of people with autism. It has an extendable silver-plated lobster clasp so it can be worn at 18 - 20 inches, with the pendant hanging an additional 1 1/4 inches.

The earrings are on surgical steel earwires and are beaded with jasper, serpentine, and a tiny puzzle piece, hanging 2 1/4 inches from the top of the earwire. If you would prefer sterling silver earwires, please convo me and I can change these for an additional $2.

This set will be lovingly and carefully packed in a Knee Deep Originals gift box, tied with a pretty ribbon, and sealed safely inside a bubble-wrap envelope to ensure safe delivery to your door. I am happy to ship overseas. Please convo me for specific shipping cost to your location, if outside the U.S.
