Small Acorn Ashes Pendant
“Make a beginning. The oak is in the acorn.”
Drawing on the acorn’s connotation of something small but mighty, this memorial necklace is cast from two halves of a fallen acorn collected on a foraging walk. The perfectly imperfect texture captures the essence of nature, and this piece is often chosen for the acorns symbolism of the circle of life. As well as chosen by animal lovers to turn pet ashes into jewellery due to its association with precious memories of woodland walks with four-legged friends.
Each piece is:
- thoughtfully made by hand in my Nottinghamshire studio.
- cast using sustainably sourced hallmarked 925 sterling silver.
- sealed using a heatless laser for permanence, its precious content kept safe forever.
-
comes with engraved personalised tag. Please write the text for your tag as a message for us in the 'Your Story Box'. There is space for three lines with a maximum of seven characters on each, including spaces and punctuation marks/kisses. Please check your engraving carefully as we can't replace any tags without a fee.
