Silver darkens. Bronze darkens faster, and against skin it can leave a mark.
The seal is a clear coating applied by hand at the bench, after the piece is poured, oxidized, and relieved. It goes on thin, sits in the low places without clouding them, and locks the finish exactly where it was the day it left Vermont. The oxidation stays where it was put. The high points stay bright.
It goes on the back face and the edges — the surfaces that meet skin and shirt — so the front of the piece is untouched.
Applied to every pendant in your order before it ships. Nothing for you to do.
Add to any order.
Covers impact damage, a bent bail, and deep gouges from daily wear. If it happens, we repair or replace the piece.
Add once per pendant. Coverage runs two years from delivery.

- Solid sterling, never plated. .925 sterling silver or bronze all the way through.
- Poured and finished in Vermont. By our family, one at a time, in small batches.
- Light enough for every day. Balanced on the ear, no pull, no plating to irritate.
- Made to pass down. No plating to wear off, no trend to outgrow.
The Irish told it first. A man named Jack tricked the devil twice and made him swear never to take his soul. When Jack died, heaven would not have him and hell had given its word. So he was sent walking, with one coal from the fire to see by, carried in a hollowed turnip. People carved their own and set them in the window so he would pass the house by.
The face in the window is not there to scare you. It is there to tell whatever is walking the road tonight that this house is already lit.
The pendant, poured small enough to wear at the ear. Ribs hammered, the face cut through and blackened, stem worked into the bail.
This house is already lit.
