This tiny anchor was converted into a pendant from a brooch. It is made from silver with a 14k yellow gold jump ring, and is studded with 21 rose-cut diamonds of various sizes.
The anchor is an ancient symbol that is used to personify strength and stability. It also is a symbol of faith, since early Christians used the anchor as a secret signal of their faith when they were being persecuted by the Romans.
This pendant is currently being offered without a necklace: feel free to reach out if you would like to add a necklace to your purchase to discuss the available options.
