This piece, titled “Guardians,” depicts two charming flamingos nestled together in a protective embrace. Each feather on their wings is meticulously crafted from mother of pearl. When they spread their wings, they reveal a collector’s grade, red-tinted black opal sourced from Lightning Ridge, Australia. Cindy’s narrative illustrates the delicate yet profound bond shared between partners, which requires mutual protection. This versatile piece can be worn as a brooch or a pendant.
