The pendant on this necklace is cast from acorns I collected while passing under an oak tree nearby. I noticed that quite a few of the acorns were in pairs, one acorn much smaller than the other, creating a more interesting look than a single acorn on its own. Acorns and the oak tree carry a great deal of symbolism in many cultures. In particular, In Celtic and Nordic cultures, the acorn symbolized immortality, fertility, and life. As such, this necklace would make a perfect gift for a new mum or baby, a christening, engagement or wedding gift.
The acorns are cast in solid gold, (100% recycled) and have a lovely weight to them. You can choose from 9 carat or 18 carat gold. They are hung from a trace chain which has an additional loop, so you have the choice of wearing it as a 16 inch or 18 inch necklace. The pendant moves freely on the chain, and I have created a twisted loop out of the twig that the acorns were attached to, making this a truly authentic, nature inspired pendant. The charm measures approximately 15mm from the top of the bail to the tip of the larger acorn. The larger acorn is about 9mm wide.
You may also order this necklace in sterling silver or 24 carat gold plated finish (in yellow or rose gold). Click here to see the silver option.
