Jenna here, founder and owner of The Honor Pendant. I'm so glad you're here!

Wearing an honor pendant is a symbol of hope and higher perspective and these pieces was born out of my own personal experiences navigating grief after traumatic loss.
In 2013 just after graduating high school I lost one of my closest friends to suicide. The sudden tragic loss flipped my world upside down and knocked the wind from my sails to say the least. As part of my grieving process I got a simple paper airplane tattooed on my left wrist to remind me of my friend's love of planes (he'd dreamt of becoming a pilot) and to honor the life that was lost too soon.

The small inky symbol has lived on my wrist for over a decade now as a reminder of hope amidst great pain.

Fast forward to 2022 when I lost my best friend in a similar tragic manner after losing her lifelong battle with depression and bipolar disorder. Having also lost my grandfather that year I found myself once again grappling with deep pain. I considered getting a new tattoo but ended up designing a piece of jewelry for myself instead...

In early 2024 God got a hold of my heart (and my designs) and downloaded the entire concept for The Honor Pendant to me. I began redesigning with a vision for my pieces to honor those who’ve experienced the heaviest things in life and the symbol of a paper airplane made perfect sense.

A symbol of hope and higher perspective.

I believe we overcome by shining a light on darkness and the easiest way to do this is by talking about our battles even as they overcome them. My hope is that whether you wear one or see one, you’d be encouraged to share your story or hold space for the story of another.

Thank you for stopping by. My hope is that you’ll find something here to encourage you.
