A hand-carved acorn and oak leaf in 9k gold, a freshwater pearl suspended beneath — small in scale, considered in every detail.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio using the lost wax casting technique, the acorn cup and leaf charm are carved in wax before being cast in 9k gold and hand-finished to retain their subtle surface texture. The freshwater pearl sits beneath the acorn cup, pale and round against the warm gold. The two charms hang together on a fine 9k gold chain — a piece that carries something of the found world with it, and wears as quietly as it was made.
