Here's the last in the series from the song. "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Partridge in a Pear Tree". And while he can't have too much trim, we've outlined the partridge's wings with a braid to make them more majestic, and added a pearl "dew drop" to the pear. The frame is lined with a gold double E loop and that's all there is to complete your set! And here, only one
is needed.
