Description
The Red Cardinal Memorial Pendant Necklace is a sublimation-printed aluminum pendant in a silver-finish bezel, offered as a 1" round or 1.1" square charm on a 16" or 24" chain. It's made as a sympathy gift, grief keepsake, or remembrance piece for anyone holding a loved one close.
About the Design
It carries one of the most treasured symbols of remembrance: a bright red cardinal perched on a snow-dusted branch with winter berries, set against a peaceful evergreen forest. According to a beloved tradition, cardinals arrive as visits from loved ones who have passed. The vintage-style artwork, with delicate brushstrokes and softly falling snow, also suits Christmas gifting, wildlife lovers, and birders. Linda Nee painted this scene exclusively for Designs by Linda Nee, and every pendant is hand-assembled in Henniker, New Hampshire.

How This Cardinal Necklace Is Made
The artwork is professionally sublimated directly onto a flat aluminum insert, then set into a silver-finish charm bezel. Sublimation bonds the ink into the metal itself, so the design won't peel, flake, or fade with wear. There's no glass dome or cabochon, just a clean, flat finish that keeps the bright red feather detail crisp and vivid. Every necklace is designed, printed, and assembled in our Henniker, New Hampshire studio, from a design exclusive to Designs by Linda Nee.
