Fork Elephant Necklace with Sage Green Bead - #5760

This little fork‑elephant pendant is one of our all‑time favorites—and a customer favorite too. Hand‑shaped from an upcycled vintage silverplate fork, each elephant gets its own personality as we contour, stamp, and polish it into life. No two ever turn out quite the same, which is half the magic.

The pendant hangs from a 22" dot‑and‑dash silverplate chain and is topped with a sage‑green Czech glass Picasso dahlia bead—a soft, earthy touch that pairs beautifully with the silver.

To create this piece, we cut the fork from its original handle (which goes on to become something else entirely), then shape the tines into that unmistakable elephant silhouette. Every curve is done by hand, every detail coaxed out with care, until this adorable little pachyderm is ready to wander out into the world.

And here’s a sweet little truth: elephants are known to form deep emotional bonds and often carry small tokens or branches as keepsakes. So wearing an elephant is a bit like wearing a symbol of loyalty, memory, and gentle strength—perfect for a piece of jewelry meant to stay close.

For all of our designs we choose wonderful authentic vintage/antique silverware. Once chosen, the pieces are modified and beautified by HAND; they are cut, drilled, filed and polished, etc. We do not cast/mold any of our designs, they are all handmade, one-of-a-kind creations. All of our creations are handmade - as such no two items are exactly alike. 

Condition: Please note, this is an antique item that was once used as a utensil. As a result, there may be some wear to the silverplate, fine scratches or marks from use. But some wear gives the piece patina and personality. We do our best to disclose any condition issues of note.
