This is for a one-of-a-kind / unique / ready-made necklace chain with a Mother of Pearl MOP (Nacre) pendant accompanied with a bundle of flower pods. Handcrafted from patinated Sterling Silver and sustainable MOP. Inspired by Pohutukawa - a Maori name for a coastal evergreen tree also known as NZ Christmas Tree in New Zealand.

I love nature and somehow have an inkling need to replicate it into wearable art, to somehow immortalise the mortal beauty and mystery. There are often tiny holes in the leaves of Pohutukawa. The damage is caused by a native insect, a leaf miner weevil, called Neomycta Rubida. The larvae of this weevil eat new leaves and the beetle (the adult stage) makes the holes in the leaves.

Why sustainable? The Mother of Pearl was an old piece of plain antique gaming coin made in the 19th century for playing board games with, which I've used to cut and sculpt into a leaf.


Approximate measurements:
• A long chain 66.5cm / 26inch long
• Mother of Pearl pendant: 3.7cm long x 2.5cm wide
• Each floral pod face; 9mm wide
• The Mother of Pearl was recuperated from an antique gaming coin which I've cut, polished and riveted onto Silver
• Handcrafted from Sterling Silver from my atelier in Paris, France.
