Introducing the 2024 Evergreen Angel Jewelry Pendant – “Aurora”
Aurora was designed and handcrafted by Matt and Lauren Tuggle of Tuggle Designs in their Evergreen, Colorado studio. Made from sterling silver, she features intricate, bright-cut, hand-engraved details. The original “master” was molded, cast, and hand-finished in their studio, showcasing the Tuggles’ signature two-tone textured and polished finish.
Aurora‘s name reflects her role as a shining light of hope and renewal, much like the dawn marks the end of the night and the start of a new day. The design includes delicate stars in her wings and bright-cut fans on her skirt, echoing the rays of light from the sun and stars. The gemstone version has a radiant centerpiece that is a brilliant-cut lab-grown diamond, symbolizing clarity, strength, and new beginnings.
The name holds special meaning this year, as parts of the United States and Europe witnessed a magical aurora borealis, whose ethereal beauty lit up the skies. Many people experienced this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon for the first time, sharing the experience with others across the world under the same sky.
May Aurora light your way and remind you of the beauty and strength that come with every new day.

The angels are sterling silver and come in two sizes, regular and miniature. You may order the angels as pendants, earrings, and mini charms. We offer many options to choose from in our angel jewelry collection.
A collaboration of Colorado artists designs each angel with drawings. Next, our newest silversmith artist, Chapin Dimond of Lafayette, Colorado, sculpts the angel and he individually casts each of the pendants in the final form. The Evergreen Angels are made entirely in the USA. Since 1993, a portion of the proceeds from each sale has benefitted Mount Evans Home Health Care and Hospice in Evergreen, Colorado. Each year, we unveil a new Evergreen Angel at the Angel Tea, and the hospice chaplain blesses her.
The story behind the Evergreen Angels
Evergreen Fine Art Gallery’s founder, Virginia Haley, created the first Evergreen Angel, “Sarah,” in 1993. It was a way to honor her grandmother and also offer tangible support to Mount Evans Hospice’s indispensable mission. Since becoming custodians of that worthy tradition in 2008, Barb Hadley and Phil Shanley have never ceased to marvel at the Angels’ powerful, versatile and far-reaching appeal. “Our relationship with hospice is very important to us,” says Shanley, an early board member of Mount Evans. “The Evergreen Angel has always been meant to benefit hospice.”
Hadley and Shanley chose to retire in 2018. Consequently, Beth Riser, owner of the Evergreen Gallery, became the newest curator of the angel program in June 2018. Beth is excited to carry on this wonderful tradition for the community. As a result of Beth’s undertaking, The Evergreen Gallery carries the angels exclusively. As a convenience, this gallery is open every day, and located in Downtown Evergreen, making the Evergreen Angels easily available to view.
Not only are Evergreen Angels beloved locally, but they are also often found giving joy and comfort to hearts around the world. “They fly all over, and people give them for all different reasons – Christmas, births, christenings, graduations, retirements, and bereavements. Sometimes when you don’t know what to do, an Angel can be very comforting,” says Barb Hadley. Time and again, Evergreen Angels have served as emissaries of hope, comfort, and heartfelt empathy.
