Love You - Blush Mermaid Pearl Necklace

"Love you" usually gets said fast, right before somebody hangs up, by people who mean it every single time.

Pearls are one of the oldest love gifts there is. In one Hindu story, Krishna lifted a pearl out of the sea as a wedding gift for his daughter, and people have been handing pearls to their favorite humans ever since: at weddings, for new babies, on the thirtieth anniversary, which is traditionally the pearl one.

These are blush pearls, the soft pink you find on the inside of a seashell if you turn it over on the beach. Pink pearls have long been linked to tenderness and affection, so the color pretty much picked the name for us. Love You holds seven petite blush pearls on [metal + chain length], for the love that connects you to your people and the love you carry around on your own, on the days when nobody calls.

It comes mounted on a card with a mermaid on the front, so you can skip the twenty minutes of staring at a blank greeting card. The necklace already says the thing.

This one is for:

• Your mom, who still has the macaroni card you made in second grade
• Your sister three states away, the one you text daily and call about twice a year
• The best friend who knew what was going on with you before you did
• Your person, thirty years in, since the pearl anniversary only comes around once

Handmade and signed by a SoulKu mama maker in Asheville, NC. Her signature is on the back of the card, and you can look her up on our website. Part of the Mermaid Pearl Collection.
