- Description
- The symbolic necklace showcases a guardian of the heart, embellished with a sizable central pendant and two smaller side pendants. Each pendant carries deep symbolism, with the central one symbolising an elderly man and his wife. This necklace goes beyond mere ornamentation; it embodies love, partnership, and unwavering commitment. As individuals adorn this necklace, they carry with them the narratives and connections of previous generations, paying tribute to the heritage of their forebears and honouring the enduring principles of family and camaraderie.
