11mm L x 17mm W Sterling Silver Charm Dove Charm MEANING & SYMBOLISM: The Dove is traditionally a symbol of peace, but other cultures, such as the Ancient Celts, consider the Dove's soulful coo an indication that a soul was passing peacefully from the earth. Slavs believed that the Dove carried deceased souls up to Heaven. Gypsies regarded the Dove as a communicator between two worlds, believing that Doves carry messages of love from the spirit world to our hearts. Christian traditions hold the Dove as a symbol of Divinity as it represents both the Christ, and the Virgin Mary. Items are not necessarily shown actual size and may be enlarged to show detail.

- ABOUT OUR JEWELRY:
- All of our pieces are hand stamped by humans! Every letter is placed as precisely as possible, but there will be some slight variations in the lettering, we like to say that you can see ‘the artist’s hand” in each piece we make. This is what gives our line so much personality. If you are looking for machine like precision, you will not find it here, so please be aware of this when ordering, as there are no returns or exchanges on customized pieces for aesthetic reasons.
- All of our sterling silver pieces are priced according to weight and labor. Thicker pieces cost more, thinner pieces cost less. They vary in thickness between 0.5mm & 2.5mm. Our pieces have evolved over time, some have been in our line since we started! So, there is a bit of variation in all of our hand made charms. Measurements are metric and Length includes the solid ring at the top, and width is measured at the widest part.
- All of our customized jewelry is stamped and then smoothed out by sanding and filing and polishing. We then blacken them and finally give the piece a satin or matte finish. This finish brings out the detail of the words in the best way. All of the rest of our silver jewelry is also finished in this way. This is part of our signature look. We can make things shiny, by special request, but we think the matte finish on silver is the way our jewelry
ORDERING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
If you are ordering more than one necklace or bracelet, please use the 'Additional Comments' box to let us know which chain or bracelet you would like it to go on. For example, you could name your first item "Necklace 1" and for each chain, charm, bead, etc. that goes on "Necklace 1", simply type "Necklace 1" in each item's 'Additional Comments' box.
ADDING ITEMS IN A PARTICULAR ORDER:
If you want the charms to show up in a particular order, you can also enter that in 'Additonal Comments'. However, we will always do the best layout for you, so this is unnecessary. If do want them in a specific order, please picture the item as though you were looking at it in front of you (not wearing it), and as though you were adding the charms from left to right. Count the number of charms, let's say you have 7 and they are going on a necklace. From left to right they would be " Left 1", "Left 2", "Left 3", "Middle", "Right 1", "Right 2", "Right 3".
PUTTING TWO ITEMS ON THE SAME RING:
If you are designing a simple necklace with a large charm and a single bead for example, you might want both items to hang from the same jumpring. This way the bead will always be in the front / top / middle of the charm. Just use the 'Additional Comments' box for the smaller item and say "Please hang this from the same ring as RCH-303", (or whatever charm you are ordering). We don't recommend any more than 2 items be hung from the same jumpring.
