When you go to Denmark be sure to stop in Copenhagen and take the tour that visits the Little Mermaid statue. It’s the most popular tourist spot in all of Denmark. Hans Christian Anderson wrote the story in 1837. The statue was started in 1909.
What is the Story of the Mermaid in Copenhagen?
The sculpture was inspired by ballerina Ellen Price, who in 1909 danced the lead role in the ballet The Little Mermaid at the Royal Theatre. However, Ellen Price would not model in the nude for sculptor Edvard Eriksen. Thus Eriksen’s wife, Eline Eriksen, posed for the sculpture of the Little Mermaid.
Why Do We Love This Necklace?
This necklace is a delight. Instead of bronze, the stylized mermaid is 14K white gold. The diamonds flow in a dream-like s-curve. The tail sweeps across the pearl. The pearl is pure white and is surprisingly big. Worn on an 18-inch 14K white gold chain, the Little Mermaid lands 2 inches from your heart. This is a very elegant piece of jewelry.

Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
