| A sunrise is depicted on one side and the dove of peace on the other, while a ribbon forms the bail and a feather the clapper of this silver bell.
Handcrafted in Texas, the Survivors Bell pendant comes with free USPS delivery, its own polishing cloth and a story card that reads:
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep, loving concern. ''Beautiful people do not just happen'' E.K. Ross
Actual Size: 1 1/2 inches - chain available separately
Each Survivors Bell is carefully packed in a velvet bag, inside a black gift box, with the story card in the lid. A silver elastic bow closes the box. Also available in 10K and 14K gold, call 1-800-225-4210 for pricing.
Alice's story of what her bell means to her-
I am a cancer survivor who is learning to live with cancer. It was two and a half years after my last treatment for breast cancer that I was diagnosed with bone cancer. This was my fourth cancer diagnosis, thyroid cancer, melanoma, breast cancer...and now bone cancer. Not exactly what I had in mind for my retirement years, but a battle I can fight. I sing in our church choir and one of the choir members and his wife, Thom and Betty, sent me the Survivor's
Bell when they heard about my bone cancer diagnosis. I was touched not only by their thoughtfulness and kindness, but, also by the lovely bell and its message. What an inspiration to keep up the "good fight," a reminder that I am a survivor! I wear it often and when I do I get so many compliments. It can be quite the conversation piece when sitting in the chemotherapy room with other
survivors fighting cancer. (I like to think that everyone who is in
treatment and living with cancer is a survivor just like those who are in remission.) I must admit that every time I hear the gentle ring of the bell, I smile to myself and think how another angel has received his/her wings just like in the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life."
Thank you John Cockle and all of your associates for your beautiful bells
that recognize and honor the important things in life. Not only are they an art
form, but they are very special treasures.
