JJeni Angeliki, Horse for Charity, Necklace

Equestrian Artisan, Jeni Benos created her Angeliki pendant to honor her great grandmother and support woman's charities. Two charities will benefit from the proceeds of the design and this stunning sterling silver pendant is full of meaningful details to represent strength and empowerment.

Jeni's great grandmother Angeliki had a difficult life to say the least. Although nothing could make up for everything she had to endure throughout her lifetime, Jeni wanted to honor her memory in a way that would help other women. Locally the Women's Resource Center of the NRV will be receiving a portion of the proceeds and the international charity Girls Not Brides will also be given donations.

Features
The Angeliki horse pendant was designed with a number of symbolic details. She has the roached mane of a war horse which is reminiscent of endurance and the drive to fight and persevere through adversity and abuse. Her mouth is open to remind those who find themselves in an abusive situation to speak out. A folk art pattern also adorns the sterling silver necklace with an old world style. Angeliki grew up on a small farm in Greece. It was well known that she loved horses and particularly enjoyed riding bareback. Using the form of a horse to represent her is also quite significant to the pendant.
