Hope Talisman Necklace with Turquoise Cairn in Sterling Silver

The Path Of Hope

They are the guideposts along life’s path, a path that can be rocky and rough with many twists and turns, but they are the beacons of light that encourage life’s weary travelers to venture farther towards a goal. These cairns, as they would be known, represent safety ahead, no matter how hard the journey has been. They are reminders that with enough hope, you will reach your destination. Hope is the one thing that can get us through the darkest of times.

This handmade talisman necklace serves as a reminder to keep hope in your heart and mind.

Bright blue, quality, Sonoran Rose turquoise is artfully stacked to create this pendant in .999 fine silver and .925 sterling silver. I've carefully sawn out and soldered the word HOPE on the back to symbolize your path of hope in this journey of life. Turquoise has been worn and treasured for centuries and believed to be a stone of protection and hope. To add a touch of feminine beauty, I created a bail with a flower motif -- symbolizing the beauty in life.

What a powerful combination: HOPE and PROTECTION.

About: 

• All pieces are slowly and carefully handcrafted in my studio in the Buffalo National River Wilderness, located in the Boston Mountains of the Ozarks.  Each piece is unique and may contain the slight imperfections that you would expect with a handcrafted item. Perfectly imperfect!

• As with all handmade jewelry, please be mindful to take care of it. It should not be worn in the shower, while cleaning, gardening, during strenuous activities such as sports, or in the water.

• The sun, heat, lotions and chemicals can affect stones negatively. Clean silver (not stones) with a gentle polishing cloth, especially for jewelry (Sunshine polishing cloth is recommended).
