Fire can be an agent of destruction—or it can refine matter into an object of indelible beauty and strength. Inspired by this elemental truth, Susan Gilland has designed this remarkable necklace, which is handcrafted by a Detroit nonprofit that employs survivors of abuse. Representing the endurance that comes through adversity, this pendant is a powerful way to remind anyone who’s “going through the fire” that they’ll come out stronger and more beautiful for it on the other side.
- Symbolic of the maker's homebase in Detroit, (a.k.a., the Motor City), each piece is crafted of copper salvaged from auto brake lines, then refined by fire, and hammered into a gleaming natural array of colors.
- Gold-plated brass chain measures 16"–18".
- Fire patina may fade slightly over time. Please do not wear in the shower or a pool, or expose to perfume, hair spray, etc.
- Handmade in Detroit by survivors of abuse.
