Anne Choi beads to be used as a pendant for the pearls necklace shown below. On the left, Anne Bradstreet's, "If ever two were one, surely we." On the right, Emerson's "Heaven is large and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude." The third bead, my favorite, the Biblical "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers." Please note the angelic feathers on this bead. They are a good example of Choi's flawess carftsmanship.
