Wreaths have been used to adorn homes, and worn as headdresses since ancient times. Romans hung them on their doors as a sign of status or victory; and women wore them to special occasions such as weddings. The laurel wreath was worn by victors of sporting events in ancient Greece.
Later adopted by the Christian faith, wreaths were hung on the front door or a window, as an invitation to the spirit of Christmas to enter the home and bring good luck, showing to all that the Christmas spirit dwelt within.
My little sterling silver Kotare (NZ Sacred Kingfisher) dives down with wings out stretched into a circle of native New Zealand plants -Silver ferns, Kawakawa leaves and Pikopiko (baby fern shoots). A solid 9k gold `berry' and sterling silver star add to the magic on the wreath.
Soldered to a sterling silver ring measuring roughly 2cm in diameter.
*Available as a pendant only to attach to your own chain, or to hang as a gorgeous little Christmas ornament. *
Also available on a sterling silver chain (18inch/45cm or 20inch/50cm), with hook closure and Lilygriffin name tag. Please choose your length from the drop down box (default is 45cm). For other lengths, please enquire.

Please note:
Lilygriffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.
Please do not wear while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning or sleeping. Store in a soft protective pouch or box out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat or cold. Please do not store in the bathroom. Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairspray/gels.
I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your hand painted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
