Far Better Things Ahead Sterling Silver Necklace - Inspirational C.S. Lewis Quote Jewelry by Kathy Bransfield | Perfect Gift for Graduation, Birthday & Encouragement

This .925 solid sterling silver pendant necklace, designed and handcrafted by Kathy Bransfield, is inscribed with the gentle and encouraging words of C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) from his Letters to an American Lady:

“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

When C.S. Lewis wrote these words to Mary Willis Shelburne, a widow grappling with loss, he offered more than just comforting words. He was gently reminding her, and all of us, that while we may walk through seasons of heartache and grief, God’s love and plans for our future are far greater than anything we leave behind.

These words were not just about looking past our pain, but about holding onto the hope that, in God’s timing, there is always something better ahead. In times of loss or uncertainty, it can be hard to imagine a future that’s filled with peace and joy, but Lewis’ reminder invites us to lean into God’s promise - that no matter what we face, His goodness will always guide us toward brighter days.

This sterling silver pendant necklace serves as a symbol of that hope - a reminder that even when we feel lost or weary, God is still working, and the best is yet to come. Whether you wear it for yourself or gift it to someone in need of encouragement, let it remind you that God is with us through every challenge, and He is always leading us toward something more beautiful, more fulfilling, and more eternal.
