Honour the resilience, strength, and sacred spirit of Indigenous women with the Not Forgotten Pendant Necklace by Maxine Noel. Created in collaboration with Oscardo, this deeply meaningful piece showcases renowned Sioux artist Maxine Noel's (Ioyan Mani) iconic Not Forgotten (Elles ne sont pas oubliées) artwork. Originally painted to honour and bring awareness to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), the design depicts a serene figure enveloped in a stylized feather that reaches toward the sky, embodying memory, healing, and enduring love.
Crafted with a smooth enamel front and a textured metal reverse bearing the artist's engraved signature, this wearable tribute hangs gracefully from a delicate coordinating chain. Accompanied by a backing card detailing its cultural origins, it serves as a powerful personal keepsake, an emblem of remembrance, or a purposeful gift that directly supports the artist through royalties.
