When my daughter bought her first home, I wanted to make a piece of jewelry to mark the moment in a special way. I thought about ‘nesting’ and then miraculously I found a button with this bird design and EUREKA!

I had a magical moment with those split tail sparrows once when I was standing in a meadow. They started flying around me at a fast pace in a large circle singing their little chirps. This went on for a long time, and I felt chosen in some way. Blessed might be the most accurate word. It is a precious event I will carry always.

I cast this in white bronze with a heavy sterling silver plate. It’s on the large side. Cherry amber, pearls, garnets and a twisted round bronze ring on a heavy sterling chain.

Measures 28” to the bottom of the pendant.
