Fun fact about sunflowers, each sunflower’s head is really a collection of 1,000 to 2,000 tiny flowers arranged in an intricate pattern that creates a reproductive opportunity for the plant. The petals we see around the outside are called ray florets, and they cannot reproduce. But the disc florets in the middle, where the seeds develop, have both male and female sex organs, and each produce a seed. They can self-pollinate or take pollen blown by the wind or transported by insects.
The dark and turquoise-colored patinas make it look weather worn. I have applied a metal sealer to help preserve the colors.
To achieve the design on the necklace, I have used an acid etching technique. Years of experimenting with and fine tuning the process have led to the intricate details you see here.
The medallion measures 1″ long x 0.5″ wide. The necklace features a Flat Oval Metal Chain, in antique copper finish, with a claw hook closure. It measures 16” long and is adjustable.
