In Spring, bursts of Makomako flowers cover the trees in tiny white blooms, which develop into tonal pinks and claret-red.

I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your handpainted and 24k gold embellished pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
