Be it joy and happiness or sadness and pain the ability to feel deeply is a fragile gift that no one can keep forever and some lose much too soon.  Pendant size- .25 x.5" Silver ear wire Available silver or 14k yellow gold  All products are cast and finished by hand in New York using recycled metals.
