 SNAG Links Preview
As we prepare for our Auction of Masterful Links during SNAGneXt, here's a sneak peek at another of the 2016 links:
The Missing Link by Deanna PastelSterling silver, brass, sapphire, fossilized ammonite
Deanna's link was inspired by the journey of our ancestors and the long line of evolution; from sea to ape and eventually to man. With the use of two moving elements, the link is playful while exploring the mystery behind the discovery of our "missing link."
