These are Hydrangea flowers. They are almost completely dry when we pick them up from nature. We finish their drying process so we can manipulate them with a mold-free jewelry technique that allows us to metallize and dip the flower in 24 k gold. The flower will always be inside. Its textures and imperfections are highlighted so none of our pieces will be like the other. This is a limited edition, HANDCRAFTED jewel. The Gold Plated is 24k mate and Silver Mate. Do not expose it to perfumes or products containing alcohol and avoid direct contact with water.
