KIDNEY Transplant Gift Set: Donor/Recipient Sterling "Butterfly Wing" Kidney Pendants
$155.00
I am pleased to share my favorite kidney creation with you! Each 1" long pendant is shaped like a kidney, but also forms half of a butterfly, symbolizing transformation, a perfect symbol for transplants.
The half with a kidney "removed," goes to the living donor/or a donor family member. The other half, with an "addition" of a kidney, goes to the recipient. The packaging is designed for both transplant participants to open together.
These come on 18" chains, but If you would like two different lengths, message me on your payment. I usually have 16" and 20" available, and will include those if they are in stock. 20" chains or longer cost a bit more. Small sterling Key Rings are available at the same price for either or both of the pendants. Options are below, but message me if you have questions.
I designed the set and have them cast in sterling silver by a production studio..
The process to create these sets began with my simple concept drawing, then a detailed scale drawing. Next is carving wax models and then casting using the ancient lost wax method, and finally on to the many finishing details. Waxes can break and must be re-made. Unforeseen casting issues can arise. The process took 5 months and many phone calls & emails to get the details just right.
The set will be shipped to you in a single box with the pendants carded together. I can send you a photo. if you'd like a photo of it carded and boxed, just send me your email. Each pendant has a sterling chain and a small kidney colored satin bag for storage. Store in the airtight zip bag provided to prevent sterling from tarnishing. More views of the set are available on my main website at https://transplantgifts.com.
Pendants are 1" long from top of the bail to the bottom. The backsides are flat should you want to have your local jeweler engrave a date, or possibly the word HERO on one of them!
