The inspiration for the creation of this piece began as a vision from God to its designer, Lynda Sanford. As she prayerfully sought a way to express her feelings regarding the personal impact of this momentous occasion, she found that it was too profound for words. Through creative collaboration with Jamie Kresl of Jewelry Artisans in Atlanta, this exquisite handcrafted First Lady Pendant is symbolic of a dream come true.
Both designs are under copyright and are patent pending.
