Note from the Artist: Frogs and toads continue to fascinate me in numerous ways. Their ability to adapt and coexist with humans is one I want to reciprocate. Another allure is the fact that their presence alone signifies a healthy ecosystem. When there are an abundance of frogs, their environment is thriving. Several months ago I was cleaning my grandmothers yard and had to organize a stack of lumber. I started to gently move each board careful to not disrupt the life that inhabited the wood dwelling. Under a redwood board lay a beautiful green toad. I filled with excitement and awe at the sight of the magnificent critter. I was able to study the amphibian for a moment and praise the little one for its existence and hard work. When I returned to my studio I had the perfect piece of jade I had been saving for just the right project. This carving symbolizes the significance these creatures play in the world and in my creativity.

The Cord: This piece is strung on a polyester/nylon blend cord with hand-carved beads of the same jade, that slide to adjust cord length. The length range of this cord is about 15-30,” but this varies, so please call us if you need your cord to be specifically tailored to you at no extra charge.

This pendant comes with a complimentary cord repair/replacement for life! You only pay for the shipping to get it to us - we will do the work and ship it back for free!

All elements of this creative process are unique to each individual piece. All processes performed by us are done so by hand, with the aid and precision of electric hand tools… Please expect variation, as these products are 100% one-of-a-kind works of art.
