Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 50 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
This is a medium heart pendant on a fine cable chain, with the polished side and the textured wing next to each other, so it reads clearly over a plain top or a simple black dress. Silver tone looks soft and quiet; gold tone is warmer against the skin.
Many people wear it on hard days: a funeral, the anniversary of a death, the birthday of someone they miss. It is alloy, so keep it dry and away from perfume, and take it off before a shower. Given in its box, it also makes a quiet sympathy gift.
Questions
What does the engraving say?
It reads 'A piece of my heart has wings', engraved in script on the polished side of the heart.
Is it appropriate to wear to a funeral?
Yes. It is discreet and its message is about remembering, so it fits a funeral, a memorial Mass or a visit to the grave.
Can it be engraved with a name?
No. The engraving is part of the design, and this piece has no personalization option.
What is the difference between silver and gold?
Only the finish: the same heart and wing in silver tone or gold tone on alloy. Choose the one that matches the jewelry she already wears.
Is it a good gift for someone who lost their mother?
Yes. It is often given to a daughter, a sister or a friend after a loss, or on the first anniversary, when words are hard to find.
How do I keep the script engraving of The Heart with Wings readable?
Keep the pendant dry and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Water and perfume dull the alloy finish over time, so take it off before a shower or a swim.
Angel wing necklace in memory of a loved one
The world moved on quickly, and you did not, and something at your neck can hold that without your having to explain it. Many Christians wear a wing to remember someone now in God's keeping. The Winged Heart is a heart held between two wings, a sign that the one you mourn is with God. The Angelic Pearl is a single wing with a small pearl on a fine Y chain, light enough to carry quietly. Touch it when their name comes to mind, and say it to God. More: Memorial Jewelry for a Loved One.
Sympathy gift, I don't know what to say or give
You do not have to find the right words. Nobody has them. What people remember is who showed up, and who still remembered them a month later. A piece that stays can do that. The Heart with Wings carries the words A piece of my heart has wings. The Winged Heart shows a heart held between two wings, the one they mourn in God's keeping. On the card, simply: "I am thinking of you and praying for you. You don't have to answer." Then write again in a month. More: Memorial Jewelry for a Loved One.
The one year anniversary of my sister's death is coming up and my mother is dreading it. What could I give Mom that day?
Everyone else has moved on by now, and your mother knows it, so simply remembering the date will mean more than you can guess. The missing does not shrink at one year, and there is no need to tell her it should. The Heart with Wings, carries the words 'A piece of my heart has wings,' with an angel wing wrapped around one side. Fasten it for her yourself, then say your sister's name out loud. Few people still do. On the card: 'One year, and I still look for her too. I'm praying with you today.' Ask whether she would like a Mass said or a visit to the grave, and go with her.
The prayer
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Eternal Rest, the traditional prayer for the faithful departed

Its meaning
A piece of my heart has wings
The engraving, A piece of my heart has wings, speaks of a loved one who has died, carried in memory and in prayer.
Saint Paul tells Christians not to grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13): they pray for the dead and trust in the resurrection. The angel wing folded around the heart recalls the old funeral prayer, May the angels lead you into paradise. Wearing it keeps that person close and turns a moment of missing them into a short prayer. This heart-shaped alloy pendant, with a textured feather wing and...
