A sweet miniature whistle charm, fabricated in 14k yellow gold by the well-known New York jewelers Sloan & Co. This tiny functioning whistle is made in the classic whistle shape, with a round body and a long flat pipe. It makes a soft, high-pitched sound when you blow it! This makes a delicate statement worn alone on a slender chain, and it pairs well with other meaningful charms. It is marked 14k for purity, and with the Sloan and Co lyre. 

Charms are especially lovable because of their symbolic potential, and for the meaning we bestow upon these symbols, which are sometimes unexpected, and deeply personal. At some point the phrase "whistle louder" got lodged in my memory— it's something you tell yourself when you're afraid, or alone in the dark, so this is the connection I make with the idea of a whistle: something small the persists in the darkness.
