The focal of the Sacred Cardinal Necklace, a Pipestone Cardinal, hand-carved in New Mexico.

'Cardinals appear when Angels are near...'

This ancient saying reflects the Cardinal's high spiritual status in folklore. The Cardinal symbolizes life, hope, and restoration. A Cardinal is monogamous and mates for life. When you first see that brilliant red bird, you'll soon note nearby his buff-colored partner, the female. Only males are the brilliant red. The female sings a high melodious refrain to attract the male or signal she is hungry, but the male's song is more aggressive to ward off predators.

Price is for one focal bead.
