I designed this pendant with several layers of meanings and symbols in mind. First and foremost, it is a solomn, solid piece of sterling silver that spells out "American" (minus the "cap" symbol) in what I call "reverse Braille." I used the 6 point alphabet symbols of the Braille system, but rather than it bumping out as usual, I drilled holes instead. I did that for two reasons: 1) to represent our loss as Americans; 2) when you wear it, it is the wearer who literally show through the pendant to spell, "American." That is the part that I am particularly fond of, because I am very grateful and proud to be an American. Secondly, in memory of the WTC, I decided to hang the pendant vertically as a visual memorial. Rather than using one bail in the middle, I put two bails at the top to represent the two towers that we lost.

Please select your sterling silver necklace length, 14.5," 16," 18," or 20"(not shown in photo).

As of July 2006, we are only doing the fund raiser with this piece at our NYC boutique, so drop on by at our store if you'd like 10% of this necklace sale to go to our fund raiser!
