Having worked with Emmy Kuster for some 30 years, a LOT of animal pieces have passed through my hands. Here are some photos, that are still uploaded at my Amber Group:

1) A necklace I made for Emmy, with a craved pendant presenting a lobster (or crustacian) in butter-yellow amber.

2) A pendant carved as the head of a horse. This was carved in Poland by a friend of Emmy's. I recommended to her that she have it mounted in silver (rather than drilled), and that the mount imitate the reins of a horse. The silversmith did a great job!

3) This is a group of pendants carved as frogs, with turquoise eyes. Emmy loves American Indian art, and hired Navajo silversmiths and carvers to work for her. She facilitated some of the earliest use of real amber by these artisans.
