Arrow of Courage Necklace in Sterling Silver
Details
FORGED BY FIRE is a family business founded by husband-and-wife makers Tim and Melanie Clark in Greenville, South Carolina. Their jewelry uses recognizable symbols to honor personal stories and offer encouragement. They create pieces around faith, dignity and the value of giving someone a meaningful reminder that they are loved.
The Arrow of Courage turns direction and forward movement into a wearable symbol. Its long, narrow silhouette gives it a different presence from a compact round charm. The maker connects the arrow with courage, purpose and the choice to begin again. It can mark a new chapter, acknowledge perseverance or serve as an everyday reminder to keep moving toward a meaningful goal.

Materials
The pendant is described by the maker as solid sterling silver. The pendant material and the chain material are distinct; use the chain specification above when comparing options.
The maker describes casting, oxidizing and polishing its emblems to create an antique appearance. Natural patina changes the look of bronze and silver over time. A darker finish in recessed areas is part of the intended character; it does not by itself identify a different metal. This listing makes no hypoallergenic, nickel-free or waterproof claim.
Care
Keep the piece away from prolonged water exposure, swimming, showers and household chemicals. Apply perfume, lotion and hairspray before putting on the jewelry. Follow the maker’s included care card and use a polishing method suitable for the confirmed metal; an aggressive polish can change the dark detailing that gives the pendant its antique appearance.
Fasten the clasp before storing the piece and lay the chain so it will not tangle with other jewelry. Check the clasp and connecting rings periodically. Avoid pulling on the pendant or chain when removing clothing.
