Botanical Gardens – Wisley Necklace<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Botanical Gardens play a vital role in helping to protect the bio-diversity of our planet and helping to support conservation of habitats around the world. The Glasshouses of Kew and Wisley RHS contain plants from around the world so they can be studied and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This necklace, inspired by Wisley as it lit up for the Festival Of Light, uses cloisonn\u00e9 enamel on a hand-engraved silver base, bezel set. The chain is made from Ecosilver and recalls the large, airy cathedral-like structure of the glasshouses. It can be removed and worn separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: Buy here in my shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Linda\\’s video<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so excited to be included. you can read here more about how it was made and don\u2019t forget my new Video Stories<\/a> page where I talk about this necklace. This necklace is available for sale through the Sussex Guild Online Shop<\/a> along with some more of my work and lots from my friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
