The hummingbird is a beautiful and unique creature that has been a spirit animal or totem to many cultures since ancient times.

Its appearance, characteristics and movements have earned it a wealth of symbolism and meanings. One of the most popular is that it represents a "lightness of being", an ability to enjoy life and to look beyond one's troubles.

If that is your goal, maybe this necklace can inspire you to do just that.

This tiny hummingbird pendant hangs on its chain in a perfectly natural way: From the tip of its wings. When worn, this puts the hummingbird in the position you usually see him in when he's drinking sweet nectar from a flower - a perfect symbol of enjoying life.

The detailing is simple and is antiqued to give it a slightly rustic charm.
