I was walking down the street in Bangkok in 1991, looking for a tattoo shop when I passed a large jewelry store that had a sign in the window that said "Custom Made to Order." I walked in, talked with the shop owner, and two days later I had my totem crafted in silver as a pendant. The only times it has been off my neck in the past 20 years has been for Chest X-rays. I had it re-made in white gold three years ago. Here is the silver version, looking a little worse for wear...

It feels like there is quite a history behind the design.
No. I am not prying. Only knowing some bits and pieces of your life is providing food for thought.
