This 14k gold pendant was designed with a deeply personal purpose. Paradise, California is more than just a place — it’s where I grew up, filled with a lifetime of memories with family and friends. On November 8th, 2018, the Camp Fire tragedy forever changed the town. While painful to remember, this event also brought many of us closer together.

The wings carrying the Paradise sign symbolize hope, resilience, and the ability to rise above challenges. This pendant is a reminder that, with each challenge, we grow stronger and can carry forward the good memories that shape our lives. Paradise is rising, and its spirit is strong because we are strong.
