Floating Round Locket with Golden Kidney -Transplant Gift

These are part of a new series of “Golden Kidney” jewelry. The hearts have sold out in this size, but I have another listing with a slightly larger heart with straight sides.

Here is what I have currently:
30mm round pewter colored ones. 18″stainless chain.
I also have one left in silver with with crystals around the border. 18″ stainless chain.
Be sure to include a message as to which of these styles you prefer!

Other items in the series, in other listings, include sterling prayer boxes with Golden Kidneys hidden inside, Tree of Life cases with golden kidneys and glass hearts inside. These are sweet, simple pendants, 30mm for the rounds. They all have metal cases with glass windows on both sides. Each comes on an 18″ chain of stainless steel. These lockets are similar to a watch case which is hinged to open but stays closed with strong magnets. They are sometimes called floating pendants because of the floating appearance of what’s put inside. They can also be viewed as memory lockets/pendants.

I see them all as gentle reminders of the significance of the Gift of Life, whether it is given or received. In this case, the star attraction is the Golden Kidney bead symbolizing how truly Golden a kidney transplant is. For recipients, it represents the Golden opportunity of a new and healthy life. For living donors, or as a touching gift to family members of donors, it represents the meaningful gift of a kidney donated to someone in need, a truly life altering gift and a reminder of the beautiful deed of donating a kidney. The kidney inside is made of gold plated pewter and rests on a bed of tiny glass seed beads in a silvery or clear color that varies slightly from piece to piece. Everything moves freely like a little kidney floating on the sea.

Please NOTE: Take care if you have a pacemaker since there are magnets around the inside rim of the pendants. Also, if you have curious small children around, be sure to keep these pendants safely out of their reach due to the small parts inside.

It is my mission to provide meaningful gifts of gratitude to represent the significance of kidney transplants. There is really no gift that can adequately thank someone for the Gift of Life. They are given from the heart of selfless people, purely to help another person live a better life. I’ve been a kidney recipient since 2002 and was fortunate to have a wonderful and Heroic living donor who gave my life back to me after a decade of dialysis. The items I design and create come from my own transplant experience and from my heart. They are inspired by my Donor and all the donor Heroes out there,  It is my hope that they will be meaningful gifts of gratitude, symbolize the experience of donation and be worn in the best of health.
