Two Friends, One Sled, All the Cozy
This polar bear and penguin sled pendant necklace captures peak winter whimsy — a plaid-scarfed polar bear and penguin duo cruising through a snowy evergreen forest on a wooden sled, painted in a warm vintage oil-painting style. It's a charming Christmas gift for winter animal lovers, kids and grandkids, teachers, and anyone who thinks unlikely animal friendships are the best kind. Designed exclusively by Linda Nee and handmade in our New Hampshire studio.

How This Polar Bear and Penguin 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 brushstroke 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.
