EUCALYPTUS PULVERULENTA | Sterling Silver Necklace (made to order)

This necklace is handmade using pure Sterling Silver.
It features sclice of an eucalyptus fruit as a pendant that has been cast in solid Sterling Silver.

I used the original 'KangarooT Trees' - Eucalyptus seedpod given to me by the friendly Grafton Nursery in Worcestershire.
They specialise in Eucalyptus, which is an amazing, important and underestimated tree family.
I found particularly interesting that their trees can also be grown further north than usually expected, for instance in the UK.

This particular specimen was cut from a natural pod from the the Silver-Leaved Mountain Gum.
Its scientific name is Eucalyptus Pulverulenta - The Silver-Leaved Mountain Gum.

This work is part of the exclusive ‘I am organic - Collection’ which is defined by extraordinarily beautiful natural objects that simply deserve to be cast in precious metals for all eternity.
Out of sheer respect of nature’s beauty, I leave the surfaces organic and use only traditional methods in the creative process.
