'143' Silver Pendants

Recommended Posts

143= I Love You.

The, ‘I Love You’ or ‘I Miss You’, lighthouse is perched facing out into the Atlantic, on the very exposed Minot’s Ledge named after George Minot an 18th Century Boston Merchant, who lost a valuable ship on the rocks prior to the lighthouse. The ledge is part of the Cohasset Rocks, off Massachusetts, USA.

When in 1894 a new flashing lantern was installed in the 34 year old lighthouse it had a 1-4-3 sequence and very soon the number sequence was taken to represent ‘I Love You’ or ‘I Miss You’ (I /1 flash, Love /4 flashes, You /3 flashes). Over the years this simple lighthouse code has been a comfort to sailors from the area, their sweethearts and families. The story is now widely known and the code is much loved for itself.

The newest addition to my hand-carved silver pieces and '143' line of products.

Each pendant is cast in .925 sterling silver

1 inch wide X 1 1/4 inch tall

Bail will accomodate up to a 2.5mm chain

Each piece is enscribed on back and is accompanied by signed description card of the '143' Legend.

Comes in a Black Suspension 3-D Gift/Display Box
