Hydrangea Petal Ombré Choker Necklace | Botanical Petal Impression | Handmade Sterling Silver Choker
Four single hydrangea petals — silver, brass, bronze, copper — pressed from real blooms and linked end to end, forming the heart of this handmade botanical choker necklace. The ombré petal centerpiece sits at the throat, flanked by delicate sterling silver chain on either side, creating a piece that is at once natural and refined.
Hand-applied patina deepens the impression on every petal, drawing out the delicate veining and texture of the bloom against a satin finish. Because each petal is pressed from a real hydrangea flower, no two necklaces are exactly alike.
Also available in all sterling silver for a quieter, more luminous look — the same honest botanical detail in one cohesive metal.
Laying gently across the collarbone, this nature inspired choker necklace makes a beautiful bridal necklace or bridesmaid jewelry gift — delicate enough to complement any neckline while still feeling distinctive and handcrafted.
- Ombré version — sterling silver, jeweler's brass, bronze, and copper petals
- All silver version — four sterling silver hydrangea petal impressions
- 16" sterling silver chain with lobster clasp
Handcrafted by Athena in Vermont.
Sterling silver, Gold, and Jeweler's Brass
Brass Pieces will develop a deep gold patina over time. Sterling silver will develop a black patina. To remove this you can use a jewelry polishing cloth like Sunshine Polishing cloths.
Gold pieces may be cleaned with a soft cotton cloth only - we do not recommend cleaning with commercial cleaners.
Storage
Keeping your jewelry away from moisture and storing it in a cool dry place will slow the tarnishing process. Your jewelry came with a 1' anti- tarnish tab. You can use this in your jewelry box to help absorb moisture.
Gemstones
The use of commercial products is not recommended for cleaning any of the gemstones in the Athena Bandit jewelry collection. You may clean stones using a soft cloth and mild, lukewarm soapy water. Some stones, such as Coral, Spiny Oyster Shell, Opals, Jade, Turquoise, and Pearls are delicate and should be cleaned using a soft cloth only. Using any products on these stones may harm them.
