Three carved sweet gum pods sit centered on a 15" chain with 3" of extender loops in the back so it can be connected anywhere and sit at just the right height.
Three bronze pieces sit center stage with a sterling silver chain. This piece is plated with black-rhodium and then polished to show the tones of each metal.
Sweet Gum Collection
The prickly brown fruit so many of us remember from our childhood backyards reveals incredible textures when altered. Carving away the exterior spikes reveals the honeycomb structure underneath, and sliced, it turns into a button of sophisticated organic lace. It's been amazing to unlock the hidden textures in this one with a jewelry saw.
