The nesting instinct starts when we’re pregnant and just seems to build with each addition to the brood. When it comes to our nestlings, we can be as proud as peacocks or as protective as mother hens, but we all keep our chicks close to the heart.

The husband and wife team of Figs & Ginger created the Nestlings Necklace to honor all Mama Geese and their goslings. This eco-friendly sterling piece is handmade, and you can chose the number of fledglings to perch proudly on your piece.

Whether you’re counting your eggs or are an empty nester, show that you rock as keeper of the flock.
