Shari Dixon Necklace: Yellow Winter Sweet on Rhubarb, Large Rectangle

Genuine pressed Yellow Winter Sweet is preserved in resin and set in an antique brass finished bezel.

Shari Dixon’s beautiful work is “jewelry derived from nature.” Trained in graphic design with a strong background in fashion, Shari utilizes real botanicals that are sealed in resin. The results are whimsical and extremely unique designs of personal adornment.

Yellow Winter Sweet: Genuine winter sweet leaves are first cooked in a pressure cooker to release the membrane. With only the skeleton of the leaf remaining, it is then dyed yellow and placed over a rhubarb lacquer. The resin coating leaves an uneven coloring of the leaf, which makes them appear to be changing color, just as they do in nature. Each piece is different!

Bezel Dimensions: Approximately 0.75"w x 1.75"h on 16" chain with 2" extender

MADE IN USA
