Old Willow Doves Sterling Silver Pendant
Gorgeous old vintage British porcelain, hand cut and crafted into a sterling silver pendant. Featuring the doves from the famous poem! Although each pendant is unique and measurements will vary by a few millimeters, they measure roughly 35x16x4mm, and each is supplied with a complimentary 18" sterling silver link chain. Pendants come with a colourful 'Old Willow' story card and a Two Skies presentation box.
The tale of the willow pattern is based on an ancient love story. A peasant boy and princess were in love but the King would not let them marry. He built a large fence around the palace and arranged a suitable marriage with a Duke. Arriving by boat, the Duke found that the couple had already escaped over a bridge to an island where the Gods had taken pity on them and transformed them into immortal doves.
