Beaded Hemlock Cone Necklace, Sterling with Tassel of Gemstone Beads

"This is the forest primeval.
The murmuring pines and hemlocks,
Stand like Druids of old..."
'Evangeline', Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our Sterling Silver Hemlock Cone and Gem Bead Necklace, is a rendition of the beautiful petite Cones made by the elegant American native, the Hemlock Tree. We cast a Cone from a lovely tree outside our studio and transform the woodland treasure into a lasting metal amulet. We then crown the approximately 1" long, by approximately 1/2" wide at it's widest point, weighty solid Cone, with a cluster of free moving wire wrapped gemstone beads in a medley of cohesive shapes and sizes, in the palette of your choice.

Each Mix includes, assorted bead shapes created to rhyme with each other. Our compositions are:

Wintergreen Mix: Peridot, Apatite, African Turquoise, Aventurine and tiny Labradorite and Aquamarine.
Stormy Skies Mix: is comprised of Tanzanite, Iolite, Labradorite, Jet, and tiny Grey and White button fresh water pearls. (The second and third photos are of Stormy Skies Mix)
Winterwhite: is a blend of lustrous creamy white fresh water Pearls in assorted sizes, along with mother of pearl and Labradorite beads.
Red Berry Mix: is a blend of Garnet beads in different shapes along with Rose Quartz and petite Pink Fresh Water Button Pearls.

We carefully select, and wrap your palette choice, with thin Sterling wire, to create this unique necklace. The tassel of beads is enhanced by the rich grey of the patinated Sterling; at once modern and fresh, also instantly a unique heirloom.

We can make this for you at lengths, 18", 22", 24", 30", and 33" long, with our own Hook Clasp and Sterling Tag, please select from the menu.
This piece will be made for you in 2-3 weeks time.

This Necklace will be handcrafted for you in the beautiful and inspirational lower Hudson Valley Region of New York, in our mother daughter studio. Our pleasure is making modern day talismans that foster a connection with nature.

Throughout the span of recorded human history, Pine Cones have served as a symbolic representation of Human Enlightenment, the Third Eye and the Pineal Gland.

Each piece, signed, dated & stamped Sterling on our signature tag, will arrive in a pouch and decorative box along with our Hemlock card, describing our inspiration, ready for inspired gift giving or safe keeping.
