Honesty seed-pod earrings with reflective metallic light, just like real seed pods glimmering in the autumn garden. The botanical name Lunaria comes from the Latin Luna, meaning Moon.
The name Honesty came later in 16th Century, some say as the transparent pods reveal their seeds 'honestly'.

How it's made:
The original model was hand-fabricated from silver sheet & wire. Sheet was textured with paper in a mill and then a pod shape was sawn out & a section of wire soldered around the edge to strengthen. Little seeds were formed from molten blobs of silver on each side.
A mold was made so that exact repeats can be formed using the ancient art of lost-wax casting (this bit is done by a casting company in London). Back here in Wales, they are tidied up, curved & given a soft polish to highlight the natural textures. Handmade ear-wires can be made to a custom size.
 
Presented in an eco gift-box with a small silver cloth to polish with.
