These are my children! I got this necklace in 1998 when we lived in Argentina. There, it's traditional to have a necklace with a little 'effigy' of each of your children/grandchidren. I thought it was a lovely thing to do. As I only have two children, my necklace is very discreet, each 'child' being about 1cm long. Their names are engraved on the back. I wear it most of the time, but especially when the kids are undergoing difficult times or need a bit of luck - like the month of January which was major exam season for them both at University in England. Whilst living in Argentina, I also bought one of these necklaces for each of my best friends (from college) for their 40th birthdays. They too wear their 'kids' with great pride - and I know that Alison never takes hers off, even though her kids are 23 and 26 now!
@woodlandsphotog Yes, I couldn't get it to work indoors as the light kept reflecting off the little guys. I took it outside and placed it on an old granite bench we have in the garden. The natural light worked better. :-)
