Monique's piece isn't just beautiful, it's also symbolic. We love that this pod represents potential within. What's your favorite thing about this nature-inspired creation?

not necessarily original (I have a very similar necklace from Twigs and Heather out of Boston) but I do love it!

Monique has a gift with items from nature, finding ways to bring an ephermal feel to metal. Its a lovely blend of strong and sweet.

I just love this necklace. It's so beautifully designed executed (as are all of Monique's pieces). It also reminds me of my childhood with my mother... we'd throw these in the air and watch them flutter and fly. Beautiful.

I find that organic designs are more pleasing in general and endure longer than geometric ones. I like this very much.

Oh, this is gorgeous! These are some of my favorite seeds to see falling from the trees. Their ability to waft down like little helicopter blades made them especially fun to play with as a child. The only thing I wish was different is the giant loop at the top that allows the necklace to slide through. It would have been better to have a smaller loop mounted to the backside that would allow the seed pods themselves to take center stage.
