This necklace takes upwards of 2 weeks to create. The pendant itself measures 9/16" north to south by 1/2" at its widest width. You can also order a 16" version of this - see variation options when ordering. Note that the model is quite thin and wearing a 18" chain on a typical woman this 18" necklace would fit just below the collarbone. This is one version of several variations of this necklace - see below for links to the other listings for different designs of this piece, including ones without enameling. The Shape - Hundreds of years ago, the shape for a heart was in the form of a teardrop, like this pendant.Įach piece is handcrafted start to finish in Philadelphia, with hand engraving, hand enameling, and recycled silver. One Stem – The flower and bud are connected in one stem, symbolizing an eternal connection. Rose Bud – Historically, particularly in the Victorian mourning era, the presence of a rose bud in jewelry represented a young child lost. Roses are stunning and at times fragile, yet have thorns to protect themselves. Here is the symbolism and meaning behind this piece:īlooming Rose – symbolizes the mother’s strength, resilience, and beauty. The charm hangs at a fixed point on the chain. This necklace features an intaglio style engraving of a blooming rose with rose buds attached at the stem, and gorgeous enamel which brings the piece alive. I made this necklace in an effort to bring comfort to those women experiencing baby loss, to be worn as a badge of courage, strength and remembrance. It's a heavy grief that often isn't acknowledged or discussed - and it's a grief I know well as I had two miscarriages before the eventual birth of my son. Over one million women per year in the US alone experience miscarriages, and that doesn't count the women who experience stillbirths or the loss of a grown child.
