The​ ​resin​ ​brings​ ​the​ ​delicate​ ​pressed​ ​flowers​ ​to​ ​life​ ​with​ ​its​ ​magnifying​ ​glass​ ​effect,​ ​creating​ ​an​ ​unique​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​jewelry​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​gift​ ​giving​ ​for​ ​a​ ​birthday,​ ​wedding​ ​or​ ​anniversary.​ ​

The​ ​pendant​ ​measures​ ​25​ ​mm​ ​(0.98​ ​inches)​ ​in​ ​diameter.​ ​

Please​ ​keep​ ​in​ ​mind​ ​that​ ​each​ ​piece​ ​of​ ​jewelry​ ​is​ ​handmade​ ​by​ ​me​ ​and​ ​will​ ​be​ ​unique​ ​in​ ​its​ ​own​ ​way!

How​ ​it’s​ ​made?
The​ ​first​ ​step​ ​in​ ​making​ ​the​ ​jewelry​ ​is​ ​collecting​ ​the​ ​flowers​ ​and​ ​botanical​ ​elements,​ ​this​ ​includes​ ​drying​ ​and​ ​pressing​ ​them​ ​for​ ​a​ ​week,​ ​until​ ​they​ ​are​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​be​ ​placed​ ​in​ ​resin.​ ​
Every​ ​piece​ ​has​ ​anywhere​ ​from​ ​3-4​ ​layers​ ​of​ ​resin​ ​on​ ​it,​ ​each​ ​taking​ ​24​ ​hours​ ​to​ ​cure​ ​before​ ​the​ ​next​ ​one.
The​ ​frames​ ​of​ ​the​ ​pendants​ ​are​ ​plated​ ​with​ ​either​ ​.999​ ​fine​ ​silver,​ ​gold​ ​or​ ​copper.​ ​
The​ ​last​ ​step​ ​is​ ​assembling​ ​the​ ​finished​ ​piece.​ ​This​ ​includes​ ​cutting​ ​chain,​ ​putting​ ​together​ ​necklaces,​ ​attaching​ ​earring​ ​hooks,​ ​and​ ​whatever​ ​else​ ​needs​ ​to​ ​be​ ​finished​ ​up.​ ​

What​ ​is​ ​resin?
Resin​ ​is​ ​a​ ​durable​ ​two​ ​part​ ​polymer​ ​that​ ​hardens​ ​to​ ​a​ ​solid​ ​once​ ​it​ ​is​ ​mixed​ ​together.​ ​It’s​ ​a​ ​perfect​ ​medium​ ​for​ ​preserving​ ​flowers,​ ​as​ ​they​ ​will​ ​never​ ​wither​ ​or​ ​lose​ ​their​ ​color.
