"A bird in the hand...is worth two in bush"...meaning It's better to have a small actual advantage than the chance of a greater one. The sentiment of this necklace is be thankful for what you do have.
This necklace is hand sculpted in fine silver (.999) and depicts a little bird being cradled in a hand. The hand is gently curved up around the bird. The piece is very elegant and solid silver. A beautiful piece of art to wear and be admired.
It comes on a sterling silver (.925) chain, 18 inches in length. The hand is 1 inches long.
Using the idea of a padlock to symbolize the feeling of security, this " in safety's keeping" necklace is a lariat style necklace comprised of a separate padlock and key.
The padlock and key are hand sculpted in fine silver and the key goes through the loop in the padlock and can either hang down below of the padlock, or else sits with a padlock, as the photos show.
The details of the piece are lovely - with little screws on the padlock, a little post in the lock, the hollow end of the key.....
This is a one-of -a kind piece with the lovely sentiment that it'll keep the wearer safe.
You know those days when you just feel a little down, a little sad, and need some comfort......
This necklace came about on one of those days for me. It wasn't planned, but maybe I just needed two hands to provide a little comfort to me.
The necklace is two hands hand sculpted in fine silver. The hands nestle together. The necklace is reversible so you can wear it with the palms showing forward, or palms to the back. To me, the palms forward suggests the offer of comfort, yet the palms back suggest that comfort is being given.
A pretty necklace, which I hope will give some comfort to the wearer....Perfect for yourself or else as a gift for someone who has given you comfort in the past - like your mother for mothers' day or a special friend...or someone who needs a little comfort right now.
It is supplied on an 18 inch (45 cm) sterling silver chain with lobster clasp.
I will make this specifically for your. Please allow a week. Each will vary slightly.
There's a place Where I can go When I feel low When I feel blue.....
A beautiful hand sculpted brooch to comfort and protect. It just feels like a safe place....
A little hand sculpted figure is nestled inside a purse - with his little hands showing over the top.
The purse features a fibula style pin that is very secure for this brooch. There is alot of spring in the fastener, made from stainless steel, and it hooks safely under the latch.
There is a lot of silver in this piece (35g) so it is suitable to be worn on coats, jackets, sweaters - but not suitable for delicate fabrics such as blouses.
Just a delightful warm, reassuring and comforting unique piece.
The purse is 4cm wide by 1 cm deep by 3.5 cm tall. With the pin, the total height is 6cm.
A gently cupped hand...offering comfort and support.
Hand sculpted in fine silver, this elegant hand is very emotive.
The phrase "take my hand" is used in many songs and symbolizes being there for someone. It is also used in some religious songs such as "Precious Lord...take my hand" to offer support.
It will "speak" to each of us individually - but my wish is that it will offer comfort and support.
The hand is 1.5 inches long (4cm) and has a brushed finish to it. It hangs on a 16 or 18 inch sterling silver chain. Please specify which length you prefer.
Please allow a week for me to make a hand for you. Each varies slightly.
