Eco Friendly Poppy Seed Pendant.
 
This pendant has been individually handcrafted in Croyde, North Devon, from 'Silver Clay', a wonderful material made of tiny silver particles that have been recycled from the waste of the silver industry, which when fired become 99.99% pure solid silver.
 
The pendant has been formed by hand from silver clay using a mould of a real Poppy Seed Head that I found in my mum and dads garden! (the actual seed head can be seen in the last photo). It has been coated with a patina which blackens the surface of the silver, the high points of the seed head are then polished back to a silver finish, leaving the patina in the recesses to accentuate the design of the poppy head beautifully.
 
The pendant measures 1.4cm tall including the ring and 0.9cm wide. and is available either as the pendant alone, or strung on your choice of sterling silver chain.
 
The Pendant is available either as a pendant alone, or strung on your choice of Sterling Silver Chain. It will arrive with you in a Recycled Wild Silver Jewellery box, safely packaged in 100% recycled, plastic free packaging.
 
The poppy is the birth flower for the month of August. They symbolise regeneration and eternal life due to their resilience and ability to flourish in harsh conditions. But it is the symbol of remembrance that the poppy is most commonly known, in remembering those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for a greater good. Legend has it that poppies grew in former battlefields in places where the soldier died. Wear the poppy as a symbol of remembrance and eternal life. 
 
I plant a tree for every order placed!
