Folklore has long associated the joyful red cardinal with the presence of angels and those who have left us. Inspired by that comforting idea, Lucy Golden has crafted her own endearing version of the winged messenger to bring solace and hope to someone who has experienced a loss. Lucy hand-paints each petite bird in brilliant crimson, seals it with a protective eco-resin, and solders it onto a curling branch of sterling silver. Boxed for giving and accompanied by a card that explains its symbolism, the necklace is a beautiful way to keep the memory of a departed loved one close. Includes a graceful 18" sterling silver rope chain with a lobster clasp. An Uncommon Goods exclusive. Handmade in New Hampshire.
