Après-Ski Energy in Pendant Form
This vintage ski lift gondola pendant necklace brings mountain-town charm to everyday jewelry — a gondola gliding through snowy alpine peaks with snow-covered pines and a warm-toned sky, painted in a textured vintage oil style that captures both adventure and quiet winter magic. It's a unique Christmas gift for skiers, snowboarders, ski moms, mountain-town locals, and anyone whose happy place involves chairlifts and hot cocoa. The retro ski aesthetic also makes it a favorite for Aspen, Vail, Park City, and Tahoe-loving shoppers building their après-ski wardrobe. Designed exclusively by Linda Nee and handmade in our New Hampshire studio.

- Round Pendant with 24" silver chain — 1" round pendant, longer layering length

- Square Pendant with 24" silver chain — 1.1" square pendant, longer drop
How This Gondola 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 oil-painting texture and mountain detail crisp. Every necklace is designed, printed, and assembled in our Henniker, New Hampshire studio, from a design exclusive to Designs by Linda Nee.
