Repairing Vermont Necklace
We've raised and donated $18,480 to help repair Vermont!
I first made these back in 2011 when hurricane Irene tore through Vermont. The devastation that it caused was overwhelming. The only comfort in the wake of the storm was how the Vermont community came together. Everyone was helping out. I wanted to create a piece that I could sell to generate some money for the relief effort. I didn't want to just create a generic design though, I yearned to make something meaningful. Then it came to me, my signature "patch" design would work so well here. Vermont has been broken, torn up but it's being patched together, healed. The beauty is in the binding. I stopped making these in 2012 but brought them back in 2023 after all the flooding and happening around our state.
100% of the profits after the cost of producing these pendants will be donated to various Vermont Relief Organizations, Farms and small businesses.
Each one has my JK signature on the back. This symbol's not only my initials, it's the Chinese symbol for "Forever" (which works really well in this case "Love Vermont Forever").
Pendant is 1" in length
16-18" Sterling comes on oxidized sterling Silver chain
