Preserved orchid jewelry

Closeup of the orchid pendant

I fell in love with preserved orchids and love to use them as the focal point in necklaces. This orchid has beautiful shimmering colors fading from a creamy, buttery yellow to soft petal pink.

I chose the fresh daffodil yellow top drilled freshwater pearls, petal pink mother of pearl nuggets, rose Swarovski Crystals and a matching sterling silver leaf toggle clasp to complement the orchid.

Thanks Rena! I'm still working on my photography skills, the colors are even prettier in person. Also want to thank you for such a wonderful site with so many helpful resources.

Where to get orchids?
by: Sezzy

Hi there, what an unusual & lovely necklace.
I really am amazed at the idea of a preserved 3D flower being used in jewellery.
I have never seen anything like it before.
Would you be able to tell me a little bit more about them, and where you got them from please.

Where to buy...
by: Sarah

Hi Sezzy! The orchids are hand picked in Thailand and perserved in a clear resin. They come in all different sizes and colors and have a little bail on the back with four holes so you can hang it any way you like. You can also get leaves, daisy's, mums, tiny cedar branches too. I order mine from Fire Mountain Gems. Check under the catagories components or search orchid.
Hope that helps!
