Southern Africa is home to the greatest concentration of rhinos as well as elephants on Earth. The fascination with these powerful mammals, who have a fragile future, never ends. So much is going on in the field to try to preserve their viable populations and habitat.

Straight out of the African bush, our endearing Baby Elephant Silver Charm & Pendant was conceived to hang suspended from a necklace or hoop earrings, as a reminder of how precious and precarious is the most iconic mammal on Earth.
