The Crane Pendant, $146

The crane in is a symbol of longevity because of their long lives.  They are also the symbols of honor and loyalty.  In Japan, it is thought that the making of a thousand paper cranes will bring you your wish.  And, the souls of the departed are said to ride on cranes backs to the heavens.
