The necklace itself represents a continuous transofrmation and interconnection of all life.

Each circle has a deep meaning:

-Top circle is hammered and even though it is still a whole circle it looks as is “damaged or broken” just as a girl, a child is taken from her home, abused and broken on the inside and outside, no understanding of humanity, love, life- just a basic will to survive…worthless.

- Second circle is a beginning of the transformation. The circle is smooth and has a satin finish (not shiny), just as a girl who is rescued may smile from the outside, but has no concept of beauty or love, feels damaged and discarded.

-Last circle is a hope of recovery and a promise of a future. It represents a girl who has recovered and no longer sees herself as a victim. She is beautiful on the inside and outside, strong and new.

The necklace can be worn 3 different ways from short to sideways:
