As 'The Griffin and the Minor Canon' by Maurice Sendak is one of my favorite books for young children, I had to own that very detailed bead of the legendary creature. It's a bit of a pity it looks best on a Fantasy necklace, on a bracelet a horizontal core would be preferable.
Wow, just wow! I only recently came across this brand and received my first purchase. The griffin is magnificent and I will be adding many many more. I entered the Faerie Realm!
Together with the blue stone necklace it made a perfect gift for my wife's birthday. My wife loves anything mythical and this griffin is the nicest one we have ever seen.
My first faerybeads is an absolute stunner. The detailing, the finishing and not the least its design, everything is exceptional. I will certainly be buying many more!!!
