just breathe

for you romantics out there, this just may be the perfect piece to get your loved one - a statement necklace that seems to say "without you, i cannot breathe."  or maybe it is simply a symbol of life in general, for without our lungs, we humans cannot breathe.  and if we cannot breathe, we cannot exist.  ...or am i thinking too deeply about this?  maybe it's just something to attract attention and make you wonder why one might wear a respiration organ around their neck.

whatever your thoughts [i'm a romantic, so i am going with option number one on this], it is certain that Peggy Skemp's Anatomical Lung Locket is a fine art piece of jewelry to treasure always.  from the intricate detailing of the human lung's bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes to the quality handmade hinges and snaps, all handcrafted in sterling silver, this necklace is sure to turn some heads. 

for other conversation-worthy jewelry featuring beautiful stones, fine metalwork, and the occasional sea creature, please have a look at the rest of the artist's online shop, Heron Adornment.

yet again, Chi-town represent!
