Perhaps unusually, the bottom flowers on the lily of the valley stem bloom first, then the rest of the buds will open going up the stalk. Inspired by the slow opening of flowers on a quiet green stem, these dangles are made with a single handcrafted flower and leaf, each, with a cascade of silver lined Japanese Miyuki beads growing up.
Carefully made with 2 colors of custom mixed resin to hint at the growing stage, each blossom is completely handmade much like their leaf counterparts. Available in both 18k gold plated and 14k gold filled hooks, the dangles are lightweight and designed to bring you a subtle touch of nature's May bounty.
Ear Hook Options:
18K gold plated hook + body
14k gold filled hook + 18k gold plated body
Silver lined Japanese Miyuki beads

Symbolizing the "return of happiness," the lily of the valley flower blooms in sprays of delicate white bells during the rich spring months. Lacking true sepals, their tepals form each blossom, filling the air with a sweet and nostalgic fragrance, beckoning passers by closer and closer. In the fall these sweet sprays of milky white flowers become vermillion berries, and their lush green foliage begins to wilt away… but don’t lament. These petite blooms are unexpectedly hardy and will return each spring for many years. Denoting youth, rebirth, purity, and serenity, the lily of the valley has quietly enchanted us for hundreds of years.
