Juror’s Comments:
Terry DeWald: Rachel just said all the colors of the stones. I just think the overall beauty of all the mixed themes just the raw beauty from the stones to the opals to the inlay. The ingenuity to link them all together in a pin and pendant is superior, superb.
Polly Folwell: I agree.
