I love Cactus! I think they're fascinating, like statues standing strong (yet delicate) in the hardest conditions! A beautiful metaphor to difficult times in life.
For this series I was inspired in the cactuses' organic shapes, their spines and textures and, of course, their colors (with my own twist!).
This necklace in inspired in the "Blossfeldia Liliputana" Cactus.
It looks to me like something between a Cactus, a Donut and a Coral, I love it!

▽ the jewel ▽
Every necklace is a little piece of art.
Modeled by hand in cold clay, no molds are used; so expect slightly variations and uniqueness in each item!
Texture in the cactus is enhanced with cotton threads and the back is covered with felt.
Comes with a littles canvas pouch, in a recycled cartoon box.
