Botanical Gold Necklace
Plant necklace gold-plated from the Botanical Collection.
On countless walks in places near and far, I have collected and gathered small pieces of plants, with the dream to transform them into treasures and memories for eternity. With the help of a casting technique we are able to reproduce them one to one - with all their fine details, in silver or gold. The collection is born from the fascination for the fragile formations of the plant world. Unique patterns of leaves, delicate seed capsules and curved blossoms - the brilliant architecture of nature is celebrated in these pieces.

925 gold-plated sterling silver
This necklace is also available in sterling silver.
Size
Pendant length: 3 cm
Ø of pendant: 4 mm

Process
The texture of this necklace originates from a real piece of pine. Using a casting of the original piece, I reproduced the structure of the plant on the surface of the pendant. Each piece comes in a black Cirer jewelry box.
Maintaining Gold-plated Jewelry
Gold plated jewelry has undergone a particular surface treatment and requires a very careful handling. Do not use abrasive methods to clean
these pieces (including jewelry cloths) as this may remove the surface coating. The best way to clean these pieces is to carefully rub them lengthwise with a soft cloth (cotton jersey) in one direction. If they remain dull or have a residue, you can carefully soak them in warm soapy water and gently move your fingers across the surface. To finish, rinse them thoroughly and pat dry (do not rub). Over the course of time the surface will get a patina, which some people love as it gives the piece a unique character. However, each piece can be restored to its original look by repeating the surface treatment. If you are interested, please contact us. In order to support the longevity of your jewelry, avoid contact with humidity. Remove your jewelry before bathing, showering or swimming. Store your valuable jewelry in jewelry cases. Avoid contact with moisturizers, perfumes, hair care products and body care products, as they can accelerate the tarnishing process. Always remove your gold plated pieces when you come into contact with the aforementioned chemicals.
