This necklace features a large poppy seed pod crown pendant - the detailed, star-shaped cap that keeps hundreds of poppy seeds inside the seed pod. The Poppy is best known as a symbol of remembrance & hope but is also a Birth-Flower for the month of August in the UK.
 
Materials:
Sterling silver. It's eye-catching and the bright, textured silver shines like a star!
 
Dimensions:
The poppy head is approx 22mm diameter & chain length can be chosen on ordering.
Pictured is an 18" chain.
 
How it's made:
In the Autumn I collect dried seed-pods from my garden - this one was a perfectly formed Opium Poppy (Papaver Somniferum) which I cut from it's pod to cast into silver.
A rubber mold is made and repeats are produced in London using the ancient art of lost-wax casting. The castings are then returned to my workshop in Pembrokeshire, where they are tidied up and fittings soldered.
 
Presented in an eco gift-box with a little polishing cloth inside.
