From January 27th to February 3rd, National Grief Awareness Week invites us to reflect on the profound impact of loss and the importance of supporting those who are grieving. There’s no better time than now to draw attention to Little Light Jewellery’s “Glimmer” necklace—a not-for-profit piece created to support the vital work of Pieta House. Inspired by the lighthouse, a universal symbol of hope and guidance, the Glimmer necklace is a powerful reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, there is always a light to lead the way.
Crafted in sterling silver and finished with 14k gold plating, the lighthouse charm represents strength and resilience. For many, it offers comfort in times of grief or serves as a meaningful gesture to show support for others.
For founder Céilí Flood, this piece is deeply personal. After losing her brother-in-law Keith to suicide in 2020, Céilí found herself grappling with grief and mental health challenges. Inspired by Keith’s memory and her own journey, she created the Glimmer necklace as a tribute to resilience, and as a way to help others facing similar struggles.
“National Grief Week is a reminder that grief touches us all in different ways,” Céilí shares. “The Glimmer necklace represents the light that exists within us, even when the weight of loss feels overwhelming. Partnering with Pieta House has been a way to honour Keith’s memory and give back to an organisation that helps so many people find hope again – including me”
Profits from the Glimmer necklace will go directly to Pieta House, enabling them to continue providing free counselling services to individuals dealing with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and bereavement. These services are a lifeline for countless people across Ireland, offering professional support and compassion during life’s hardest moments.
Each necklace is accompanied by a heartfelt poem written by Céilí and her sister Fiona. Titled “Glimmer”, the poem reflects their shared experiences with grief and offers words of comfort and hope.
The Glimmer necklace retails for €59 and is available at www.littlelight.ie and Kilkenny Design Stores nationwide.
