Learning to Fly Necklace

"I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings..."

This one’s for the moments you felt like the ground dropped out—and still, you rose. Learning to Fly is more than a necklace; it’s an anthem for anyone who’s stumbled through failure, kept going, and found grace in the fall.

Inspired by Tom Petty’s soulful ballad, this piece carries the spirit of starting from scratch and holding onto hope when everything feels uncertain. From “started out on a dirty road” to “coming down is the hardest thing,” I felt those lyrics in my bones—through heartbreak, through rebuilding, through chasing dreams that almost broke me. And I made it through. That’s what this necklace is about.

Crafted with radiant 14k gold-filled components and adorned with seven freshwater pearls—each one unique, like the chapters that shape us. Pearls, long symbols of wisdom, resilience, and maternal strength, add softness to this powerful piece. A quiet reminder that strength doesn’t have to shout.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of starting over—or the quiet hope that carried you forward—Learning to Fly was made for you. Wear it as a marker of your journey and your strength. You're not alone on this road. You’re just getting started.
