Silver Pods Necklace



Remember the Balsam plants most of us had growing in our gardens and also in School? We had so much fun poking their ripened seed pods and watching them split open explosively, scattering their cute dark seeds everywhere.

These lovely Silver Artisan Hand-Coiled "Pods", in fine 925 silver transported me back to my fun childhood days when making this necklace, and I've added deep burgundy faceted Garnet rondelles reminiscent of the seeds, and sprinklings of creamy freshwater pearls along multiple silver chains.
A sweet, under-stated piece, that closes behind with a toggle clasp.
Made this necklace way back in May, and with everything that's going on here, was lucky enough to get my little model to help me out with this pix before she SIN left for her studies.
