Always Carry a Rest

Because everyone needs time to breathe.
Because silence is part of the music.
And because even the most dedicated musicians need permission to pause.

Created by Quinnlyn & Co., the Always Carry a Rest Bar Necklace is a meaningful reminder for the person who gives so much of herself to music and to everyone around her.

Thoughtful, elegant, and quietly clever, it makes a memorable gift for music teachers, private instructors, music graduates, choir directors, band directors, piano teachers, singers, performers, and musicians.

Whether you are celebrating graduation, Teacher Appreciation Week, a recital, retirement, a birthday, or simply saying thank you, this necklace shows that you chose something especially for her.
