Any piece with very little detail and a single reflective quality throughout with a six to seven-inch spiral line in its center offers a lot of room to fall below acceptable standards. Snails shells are simply very hard to get right. This one does so in spades. If my goal is the creation of something beautiful this small snail pendant succeeds.  If my goal is the execution of remarkable work it succeeds. It meets both standards and then some setting a new personal standard for achievement in the future.
