This 14k gold pendant was designed with a deeply personal purpose. Paradise, California is more than a place — it’s where I grew up, creating a lifetime of memories with family and friends. On November 8th, 2018, the Camp Fire tragedy profoundly impacted the community. While it’s a painful memory, it has also brought many of us closer together.

The wings carrying the Paradise sign symbolize resilience, hope, and the ability to rise above challenges. This pendant is a meaningful reminder that, even after hardship, we can grow stronger and carry forward cherished memories.

Finish & Appearance:

• Photos show the sterling silver version colored to represent gold; actual gold may vary slightly.

• The pendant can be finished in satin, high-polished, or a combination for contrast (e.g., polished borders and Paradise text with satin body).

• Slight variations in the blackening/oxidation effect are expected; each pendant is individually finished.
