Introducing the 2023 Evergreen Angel Jewelry Pendant – “Dante”
This angel’s name, Dante, means everlasting, enduring and devoted. This is the first male pendant offered as part of the collection to celebrate 30 years of our annual angels.
The angel is holding a sword, which can represent many positive attributes including strength, protection and willpower.
The gemstone versions of the pendant has two options, one is a black onyx at the top of the sword, and the other is a smaller 1 carat black diamond. Custom gemstones may be requested.
This 2023 Evergreen Angel was designed by Philip Newsom, a talented artist from Colorado with a BFA in illustration from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Silversmith, Chapin Dimond of Louisville, Colorado, sculpted the angel from Philip’s drawing into the finished pendant and then he creates every angel by hand in the traditional style.
We hope you find your own personal meanings within this handmade angel, above and beyond our design.

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.
