Melissa Oliver's Grandmother was Effie Calavaza (d) who popularized a snake motif during her long career as a jeweler. Beginning in 2002, Melissa began assisting Effie with stone work and buffing. Encouraged by Effie, Melissa expanded her talents to include silversmithing, becoming a jeweler in her own right. She earned the permission to continue Effie's snake motif, along with her sister Gloria, brother Randy (d) and sister-in-law Joy. Melissa's unique sterling silver and howlite Snake pendant necklace is wonderful. The pendant itself is about 7/8" long and 1 1/2" wide. The silver chain is approximately 16". Signed by the artist.
