The top segment is hand painted with a hyacinth macaw (a large cobalt blue parrot native to South America). The lower section incorporates opal inlays with cabochon moonstones. The inscription inside quotes James 3:7-8: "For every kind of beast and bird is tamed and hath been tamed but the tongue can no man tame." The piece is designed by an American Studio jeweler, Aldrich Wright who was active in the 1980s and 90s. Condition is excellent. The piece could easily be converted to be a pendant.
