The shovel is such an iconic form and can be interpreted in many ways. We made this 18k gold shovel pendant, knowing the simple shape would speak to many people. A shovel could represent digging deep and finding your inner strength, or it could symbolize digging yourself out of—or into—a hole, or digging your own grave, or breaking new ground. Or it could simply be worn to represent gardening. We love the proportions of the charm, the bend in the shovel’s handle, and the lifelike concave curve to the spade. The shovel’s handle has a a brushed surface; the other parts of the charm are shiny. This great little pendant seems as if it might belong to a tiny gnome. Part of Kirsten’s Corner Signature Collection.
The pendant measures 1 7/16” x 3/8”, plus an additional 3.8 x 6.5 mm bail. It weighs 2 grams. Marked on the bail as 18k.
