Vietnamese Pine Cone Necklace

Travel Memories before Covid-19 - III

VIETNAM

On the way to Hoi An in February 2020 I visited an oyster farm and found these cute Casuarina cones.

I decided to copper electroform them into cute pendants.  

Each piece is one of a kind!

The original cone remains hidden inside which makes it a special piece of jewellery.

Please note that due to the organic nature and electroforming process, items purchased may vary somewhat from the image shown.

The pendant comes on a 925 Sterling Silver chain. 

Dimensions: approx. 20-22 mm x 12-15 mm

Chain Length: approx. 45 cm 

The piece comes beautifully packaged in a gift box. 

Due to its organic nature, each piece is delicate and needs to be handled with care.

Please note that copper and sterling silver oxidises over time. This is a natural process. 

A jewellery polishing cloth used regularly will help shine up your piece again. 

Applying a thin coat of nail varnish onto the copper might prevent oxidation in difficult to reach areas. 

As with any other jewellery, it is recommended to not wear it while bathing/showering, sleeping and exercising.
