Sister Wivesstar Kody Brown has one wife now, but once upon a time, he had four, and while they were still with him, he designed pendants for each woman:Robyn, Meri, Christine and Janelle Brown. While he hasn’t specifically said what each necklace means, research into the symbols and shapes of those designs is fascinating. It’s actually uncanny how well the various symbols and shapes represent the four women, all of whom have very different personalities. While so much has changed for the Browns, back then, Kody could still show his fondness for all the females, not just one.
Time’s a great healer - hopefully, in the future, everyone’s feelings will change, allowing them to grow as human beings, less connected to their painful pasts.
These days, Kody and Robyn war with Meri and Janelle over the fate of Coyote Pass. That land was supposed to be the Brown family’s Utopia, where all could live in peace in their respective homes, while still participating in polygamy. They’d be surrounded by the glory of nature, including lush trees and a tranquil pond. Unfortunately, that beautiful dream has died.Kody and Robyn remain together, but three wives are gone, and none of them trust Kody anymore.
The Necklaces Were Featured In A Reddit Chat
They Were Once Available Via My Sisterwife’s Closet
At a Reddit thread started byLeadershipMission, the necklaces were shown, as seen above. Better pictures of the pendants are featured below, so there’s no need to travel to Reddit to see them close-up. At that social media platform, Kody, who blatantly preferred Robyn before a trio of wives bailed out on their spiritual unions, isn’t a popular man. However, the truth is that he doesn’t deserve all the criticism that he gets.
If Meri, Janelle and Christine were miserable in their plural marriage, each had agency over their own life, and could have left much sooner. Yes, it’s more complex as children are involved, but to put it all on Kody isn’t completely fair.
Fans saw the necklaces when they were featured onSister Wives. Back then, Christine complained about her design - she wasn’t fond of the"etching,“as per a Redditor on the thread. Some people who left comments were also deeply unimpressed by the bling. One of them critiqued the designs for their bargain-basement aesthetic:
They all look like something you’d get at Hot Topic or Gadzooks in the early 2000’s for $10!
Kody lovingly designed each piece of jewelry. However, according to a Redditor who seemed to prowl My Sisterwife’s Closet on the regular, perusing its wares, Robyn’s pendant wasn’t available to buy. If that’s true, even in terms of the website’s inventory (andMy Sisterwife’s Closet’s now in limbo), Robyn got special treatment. However, there’s no proof out there now that backs up this statement, so it should be considered speculation.
While, at first glance, I thought the designs looked like cheap trinkets from a gumball machine, which are delivered in little plastic “eggs,” on closer inspection, I began to see some kind of beauty.I could see that each piece was chosen to send a message about the shining qualities of each woman.Of course, there’s something sweet and endearing about that. So, I got curious and started poking around, researching symbols from medieval times, or even earlier. All of this was so interesting.
Christine & Robyn’s Necklaces Really Stand Out
Which One Do You Prefer?
Christine is a spunky and cheery woman, and to me, her occasional flashes of temper were usually wholly justified. I felt for the pretty and feisty women thatKody didn’t seem to want to spend time with or sleep with. That’s a very tough situation for a wife to be in, and I rejoiced when she got herself out of it. In fact, I think she’s amazing - I like a little bold spirit in a woman - a fearlessness and a sense of joy, or a desire to feel joy. I think Christine is like that - brave enough to really search for happiness.

Anyway, Kody, who never really seemed to be on the same page with Christine after Robyn entered the family, received a pendant that she didn’t really love, as previously mentioned. It’s in the shape of a heart, with one side of the heart smooth and polished, and the other etched to give it depth and dimension. On the smooth side, a little fairy rests, with one wing visible.
Christine has some sassy Tinkerbell charm, so I personally found the symbolism of fairies, as perBrittanica, quite interesting. Fairies seem sweet and peaceful, but they have a little more edge in the ancient myths. They weren’t always sweetness and light:
The common modern depiction of fairies in children’s stories represents a bowdlerization of what was once a serious and even sinister folkloric tradition. The fairies of the past were feared as dangerous and powerful beings who were sometimes friendly to humans but could also be cruel or mischievous.
Wow!The notorious “villain” Kodyprobably had no idea that fairies once had"sinister"connotations - at least, I hope not. While I personally think Christine is the polar opposite of"sinister,“I do think she’s"powerful.”
It has to be said that she pushed back harder against Kody than the others, showing a strong sense of self.
Also, she’s always had a"mischievous"quality -today, with David Woolley, she’s very playful. If Kody did visitBrittanicalike I did, and knew about the whole"sinister"thing, that would be fascinating. However, there’s no proof that he researched fairies and checked the top Google results to see what popped up.
With Robyn, we have “the Phoenix” - this is a symbol that I find fascinating and life-affirming. To rise from the ashes is one good way of showing the world how much you love life, no matter what it throws at you. Since Robyn probably had the highest degree of comfort in her relationship, as Kody was so devoted, it’s interesting thathe compared her to a beautiful bird that overcame all manner of problems. This is how he sees Robyn - as strong, a survivor, a passionate person.
The Phoenix has been contemplated by Christian scholars, as perFoundations.Its meaning is deep, spiritual, and thought-provoking. One theologist said:
“Not surprisingly, early Christian writers construed the phoenix as a symbol not only of resurrection in general but also of Christ himself and his resurrection in particular.”
To compare Robyn to such a glorious bird is high praise indeed, based on the quote above, as the creature is compared to Christ. Perhaps Kody, so besotted by Robyn, sees her as fundamentally angelic.That is very romantic. He often idealizes his fourth wife -Kody and Robyn wear matching David Yurman rings. He gazes at Robyn in adoration, even though they fight sometimes. It seems like a love he would die for.
Meri & Janelle Also Got Symbolic Pendants
They Feature Timeless Symbols
Meri, who often seemed to be on the bottom of the Brown family totem pole, didn’t seem to inspire the most creativity in Kody.There was no wild firebird for her. There was no fairy with a touch of “bad girl” charm.What he chose was a variation on a familiar Brown family riff - the Claddagh legend. The family is known for its former love of Claddagh rings, which feature a heart and crown. Their Celtic symbolism is all about love and loyalty - in fact, Meri’s necklace features the Latin word, “fidelis,” which means, “faithful.”
Yes, the sentiment is sweet, but maybe it’s saccharine-sweet, as to me, Kody never seemed to appreciate Meri’s mildness… her capacity to keep trying to make it work, uber-loyally, year after year. In fact, I felt like it irritated him. However, loyal she was, perhaps to a fault. Meri was willing to divorce Kody so he could legally marry Robyn.
Meri really sacrificed for Kody. Hopefully, in the future, she will find a love that’s actually worth fighting for. She’s teasing a possible romancewith a new man, Brandon Stone, so that’s not impossible.
Yes, Meri strayed during her unfortunate catfishing scandal, but she was obviously very lonely in her relationship. It’s hard not to feel sorry for the woman who was driven to that, and then ended up humiliated. I personally think Meri, who was always put down, is more like a Phoenix, rising up out of that morass to really shine.Meri’s now the owner of WorthyUp(a collaborative space for people who want to build their self-esteem).
Of course, Janelle, who lost her wonderful son Garrison, is really the boldest and most beautiful Phoenix of them all. With so much dignity, she has soldiered on, showing all of us what grace under pressure really means.
However, for Janelle, Kody chose a “roots of life” symbol. The tree that’s bound to the earth by its strong roots isn’t a bad symbol for Janelle. She is remarkably down to earth, always getting real about life. She’s not a pretentious woman - she’s not overdramatic. Janelle is the salt of the earth.Janelle’s new business, Taeda Farms, will sell flowers - some of nature’s most stunning masterpieces.
The “roots of life” are linked with the “tree of life,” a component of Celtic symbolism, representing the life cycle of birth, death and rebirth. So there is a kind of Phoenix-inspired element. It’s about the life of the spirit, which is eternal, always enduring.
Kody Has A Gentler Side
Sister Wives' Kody Brownclearly has a softer side, as his custom necklaces for Robyn and his now-exes show. However, by giving Robyn the “firebird,” he shows what’s really in his heart. For her, the symbol, linked with Christ, is all about reverence. With this in mind, it’s best for everyone that Kody and Robyn can be together, living in monogamy. There really wasn’t room in Kody’s heart for four women once he met his true love.
