About this item: Pigeons sing songs of love in a nighttime serenade illuminated by florid stars in an inspired design by Peru's Fabiana Quispe. She carves the imagery on a dried mate gourd which she sets in a voluptuous heart-shaped pendant. Crafted by hand with sterling silver, the necklace is a tribute to endless love.
