sterling silver descending Holy Spirit dove
sterling silver descending Holy Spirit dove
This lovely descending dove is made of sterling silver and hangs on a sterling silver flat cable chain. The descending dove is an ancient Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit, who descended in the form of a dove on Jesus Christ at His baptism.
I designed it first with pencil on paper, then I hand sculpted the design in jewelers wax, and finally, I sent my wax carving to a caster who made a mold and cast multiple copies. I then darken the silver doves and polish each one by hand.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
This necklace is solid sterling silver, which will tarnish if not regularly cared for. To prevent tarnish, don't let it get sweaty or oily and don't swim in it or wear it in the shower. Clean it with dish soap as needed. When it is clean and dry, rub it gently with the polishing cloth I have enclosed.
If it does tarnish, cleaning it and rubbing it with the cloth will restore its brightness. If it is still darker than you like, especially the chain, I have found that rubbing it gently with a paste of baking soda restores the sparkle. After cleaning it that way, rinse well, dry it well, and give it a final rub with the polishing cloth.
When it is not being worn, storing it out of light in an air tight plastic bag, such as a Zip-loc will help keep it bright. I have included a small bag that you may use.
