"Always kiss your children..."
... or, to give the full quotation: "Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep" (H. Jackson Brown, Jr. American best selling writer, author of Life's Little Instruction Book)
I expect that the sentiments of this quotation will resonate with any parent who has looked lovingly at their young children sleeping but realised how fragile life can be.
Most of the design will be self evident, but I will confirm that the cabochon is malachite (traditionally consider a protector of children) and that the small dark-green stone in the 'kiss' is an emerald (representing youth).
The 'egg' shape is also deliberate.
The piece is 44mm long and is on a 42cm (16") rubber cord with silver clasp. The slightly curved body is in 0.5mm silver, so is nice and light to wear.
Hallmarked on the
back.
