People focus on beauty, but forget what came first. Before there were wings, there was patience. Before there was flight, there was struggle. That’s why this piece resonates with me.

Every time I look at it, I see proof that transformation is worth the wait.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hespera Jewelry Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47681417150641,"sku":null,"price":5495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9641\/files\/The_Green_Between_Seasons_by_Ronald_Tom.webp?v=1783528520","url":"https:\/\/hespera.com\/products\/the-green-between-seasons-necklace-ronald-tom","provider":"Hespera Jewelry Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
