Hand-crafted from start to finish, this stamped necklace features the Latin phrase TRANSIT UMBRA, LUX PERMANET, which means "Shadow passes, [but] light remains," curving over the image of a lighthouse keeping watch over a stormy sea.

The English word "transition" is derived from the Latin TRANSIRE, the verb for "go across." Similarly, the English word "permanent" didn't change much from its Latin roots of PER ("through") and MANERE ("remain"). This pendant is intended to serve as a reminder that while the world may look dark and storm-tossed, the night will pass and the goodness of the world will remain through the darkness, only temporarily hidden from view. The warm light of the grounding things in life will guide you home and the trial will be over with the rejuvenating return of the sun as a new day breaks. Whatever shadows you may walk through, we hope that this pendant brings comfort and guidance as you journey towards the light.

The addition of custom initial tokens lets you put your own personal touch on the necklace and pay homage to all the significant relationships you're in that help guide you through life, whether that's your sweetheart, your kids, your spouse, or your family!
