This handmade sterling silver medallion 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 changed everything. While it’s a painful memory, it also brought many of us closer together.
The wings carrying the Paradise sign symbolize resilience, hope, and the ability to rise above challenging times. This medallion is a reminder that, even after hardship, we grow stronger, lift up, and carry forward cherished memories.
