Vietnamese Pine Cone Earrings

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 make them into copper electroformed earrings.  

Each set is one of a kind!

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

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

The ear wires are made from 925 Sterling Silver wire.

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

The piece comes beautifully packaged in a gift box. 

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.
