This number 13 pendant follows in the ancient tradition of "illuminated" letters which were the highly ornate and gold leafed capitalized letters within medieval manuscripts.  This series ( see also our Illuminated Alphabet collection ) was created in homage to and in collaboration with my husband Aaron Horkey and his amazing hand lettering talents. It is based directly off a drawing Aaron has drawn by hand, in the way of the  artists who hand drew and wrote out manuscripts: with dedication, precision and an eye for beauty.

It’s my hope that this number thirteen pendant will be a talisman of connection to the people, places, and dates you hold dear.
