Solid silver acorn pendant

About this item

Materials
Sterling silver, Silver
Made in
Ashford, Kent
Description

Cast in Delft clay from a natural acorn, this solid silver pendant is a pleasingly heavy weight. Oak trees symbolise strength, endurance, wisdom and longevity, making it the perfect gift for an 80th birthday as it mirrors the journey through eight decades. Meanwhile its nut, the acorn, represents humble beginnings, growth and patience. Historically, acorns were carried as a talisman for good luck and good health. As the acorn is fully hallmarked and cast from a natural object, it bears the honesty marks of such craftsmanship and will not have the immaculate finish you would see on an item from a High Street jeweller. This is because mass-produced objects are designed to be the same every time and are factory-finished with industrial machines. With this pendant, you are buying something that is truly unique, and which honours the time and talent that has gone in to creating it. Dimensions 2.5cm long, 1.5cm wide, wight 13g The pendant will be presented in a necklace box and fully gift wrapped in a black corrugated card pillow box with a Designs from the Gatehouse gift tag. Postage by Royal Mail Tracked 48 (with signature) is included in the price.
