Kidney Transplant Gift: Donor/Recipient "GOLDEN KIDNEY" SET
$165.00
Donor/Recipient Transplant Gift Set. It is exactly like the all sterling silver set except that the recipient pendant has an 18K gold plated kidney "added" on because transplants are GOLDEN! This golden kidney is lacquered to deter tarnish from the sterling underneath.
Each 1" long pendant is shaped like a kidney, but also forms half of a butterfly, symbolizing transformation, a perfect symbol for transplants as well.
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.
Pendants come on your choice of 18" sterling chains, 2 sterling key rings or one chain and one ring. If you would like two different chain lengths, message me on your payment. I sometimes have 16" and 20" available, and will substitute either of those if they are in stock. Be sure to let me know which pendant receives which length. There is a drop down menu at the very bottom of this page to make your choice.
The pendants are packed together in one box on a backing card to give it the "Butterfly Effect" symbolizing transformation. Each pendant has its own small, kidney colored, satin drawstring bag, care sheet and information about my background and my mission to show gratitude to our precious living donors or donor families. when not wearing, Please store inside the small zip bag which will deter tarnish.

I designed these sets and have them cast in sterling silver by a silversmith studio in Bali, Indonesia. The process to create them began with simple concept drawings, then a detailed scale drawing. Wax models are carved next and then casting in silver, using the ancient lost wax method.. Final steps are taken to the many finishing details. Unforeseen wax and casting issues can arise. The process took 5 months and many phone calls & emails to get the details just right, but they came out exactly as I envisioned them.
Select your desired length in the drop down menu below. When not wearing, always tore pendants in the airtight zip bag provided to prevent sterling from tarnishing and especially to keep tarnish from migrating up into the gold section.
Pendant backsides are flat in case you want future engraving of a short phrase or date at your local jeweler. Suggestion: Engrave HERO on one perhaps! Sorry, I do not offer engraving services.
