Hendler started her career as Art Director at Neutrogena and eventually started creating her amazing runway style jewelry pieces using upcycled discarded airplane acrylic scraps that she sourced from a friend.  Her statement styling lead her work to be featured on 1980's televisions series such as Dynasty, Knot's Landing and Days Of Our Lives in addition to being features in high-end retailers such as Saks & Nordstrom.

In
used AS-IS condition
with expected wear as seen in photos. I see no breaks or repairs but it does include abrasions/marks/scratches on the flat surfaces from wear in addition to some chips along the sharp edges of the pendant as seen in photos. There is also a small spot of pink on the bottom tip of the pendant that I have not tried to clean off...I am guessing that it is from a red pen and can likely  be cleaned off. I have not cleaned or polished this piece as I prefer to leave that up to the buyer--with that said, please do your research regarding how to care for acrylic/plastic jewelry if you end up owning this piece...it is very easy to damage the surface if the wrong products are used. Please note--since this is a handmade artisan piece the surface includes variations in texture with uneven areas as seen in photos and expected in handmade jewelry.
PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR COMPLETE CONDITION DETAILS.
