Fireman’s Charm Necklace
A Hero’s Symbol, Worn Close to Heart. This one is in honor of my favorite fireman, Mike Ghawaly. Mike was all heart, all grit, all in. He showed up for everyone, every time.
A tribute to courage, sacrifice, and unwavering service. This Fireman’s Charm honors the brave souls who run toward danger when others run away. Available as either a stand-alone charm or a complete necklace, it’s a meaningful talisman—and a statement of support for the first responders who risk everything to keep us safe.
