Fantastic
Firstly, I don't really do reviews; if I like a product, my business should be enough to let them know I like something. BUT, I have to say, I am blown away by this pendant and feel I need to let the artist know. I'm a bit of an amateur Egyptologist and was surprised to see Sekhmet in the first place, as a goddess who isn't so popular or known, but a favorite of mine. I was even more blown away by the hieroglyphics on the back, something that I don't think most people are aware of meaning-wise and are also something special to me. When I received the pendant, I couldn't believe how beautifully crafted it is, with such fine detail on the uraeus and Sekhmet's wings, with such a good weight to it. And the shine! Wow, I just have to say, I am so very impressed to find something this unexpected that combines two aspects that have a special meaning to me. There's a kindred spirit in Florida making these pendants for sure! Fabulous artists.

Great work.
I didn't purchase mine from Amazon but through a local retailer, I have had this necklace for about 16 years now. It has stood up to the elements very well. Great craftsmanship, not flimsy like some jewelry can be.
