Made in the USA JPMC-5 $50.00 Available as a Special Order Our silver sandhill crane pendants are 99.99% pure silver - more pure than sterling! Each pendant is individually handcrafted, so no two will be exactly alike. Our pendant depicts a crane by a flowing river and is a favorite image at Glassy Lady. Each spring, sandhill cranes by the thousands (and the occasional whooping crane) arrive from Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico and stop for several weeks on the banks of the Platte River to gather strength for their journey north to summer in Canada. The cranes' favorite feeding grounds extend from our location in west central Nebraska to about 90 minutes east, near Grand Island. The image on our pendant is reminiscent of the Platte River and its yearly visitors of the crane variety and is a great jewelry item for crane lovers. It's also a great souvenir if you've traveled to Nebraska to see the sandhill cranes. After ordering, please allow us two weeks to create your pendant. Be sure to note the dimensions of this large silver sandhill crane pendant: Approximately 1-1/2 inches wide by 1-5/8" high excluding the bale. This pure silver pendant comes with an adjustable waxed cord, and, as with all our silver pendants, is handcrafted in Nebraska, USA.
