Whisper Necklace by Susan Rodgers
A dragonfly in flight is but a mere whisper in the wind. On this beautiful nature-inspired pendant necklace, a small silver dragonfly sits ever so quietly. His dark metallic color bespeaks a bold contrast to the shimmering freshwater white coin pearl on which he deftly landed.
Size: Pendant is 1.15" long x 0.75" wide. Hangs from a 16" long diamond-cut beaded chain with a 2" extender and a spring clasp.

My earliest influences as an artist grew out of a passion for nature and were further embedded in my core by my father, an expert craftsman. His tools intrigued, fascinated me, and called to me.
Growing up on Long Island, nearby Fire Island, where we vacationed, became my solace, my “home.” It was my escape from the unsettling confusion of home life, where my family’s energy was channeled into the care of my terminally ill sister.
Fire Island and my connection to the Sunken Forest runs deep. They are part of every summer memory, and I cannot separate them from the rest of my childhood. When my essence was most malleable, this magical place embedded itself into the core of who I am as a person and an artist.
Incorporating my love of the outdoors into my work was only natural, if not inevitable.
