Translated from French, this seal reads "Nothing without effort", as a cherub reaches for a heart in the branches of a tree. The pieces in the Pyrrha line are cast in reclaimed silver and hand made in Canada. Each design has a symbolic meaning culled from family heraldry. In 1993, Wade and Danielle Papin met, fell in love and begun handcrafting jewelry at their kitchen table in Vancouver. Two years later, following myriad conversations about their shared appreciation for good design and old things, they founded Pyrrha with a commitment to letting their materials inspire their jewelry. When they came across a small, dusty box of badly damaged 19th-century wax seals at an estate sale, they knew that they had arrived at what would become the heart and soul of their work. The resulting jewelry is Pyrrha’s now iconic line of symbolic talismans. As a carbon neutral certified BCorp, Pyrrha is committed to environmental responsibility, accountability and leadership in the creation of its jewelry.

Very nice
I have a few Pyrrha pendants and this one may be my favorite. Their pieces are very good quality, the pendants are unique and thicker than you probably expect. Their chains are also very nice quality, but I find that they make the necklaces look a tad masculine on me, so I replaced them with thinner and lighter-colored silver chains. The lighter-color chain improves the "look" significantly with the pendants that I have.They come in the nicer Amazon jewelry boxes and have a very pretty, thick textured linen card with them that explains the meaning behind the pendant. If you are buying for yourself or to give as a gift, you won't be disappointed in the quality or presentation.Update 3/2/14: I wanted to say that I am using the chain that came with this necklace with several other pendants by different designers. So...its not inherently masculine, it just didn't work with my Pyrrha pendants on me. The chain is unique compared to most designers' chains and frankly, I really like it.

Too large for me but still amazing quality
I had purchased the "petite eagle's wing" for a friend and have been wanting something of my own for years. The Pyrrha "talisman" pendants are really beautifully done, the quality is exceptional, but the Amazon website does not have measurements listed and this would have prevented the purchase and return for me. I did end up purchasing another petite pendant from them, just wish all could be made in small version. They are really nice, packaged nicely and sent quickly. The return went very smoothly. No complaints.
