Pine Cone Charm Sterling Silver | Forest Jewelry | Nature Jewelry

A pine cone with overlapping scales arranged in nature's own spiral pattern -- cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 1.6 grams and measures 3/8" x 1/2", a compact woodland miniature in solid silver.

Sterling silver uses copper in its 7.5% alloy rather than the cheaper nickel that overseas manufacturers often substitute. For the 10-20% of people with nickel sensitivity according to the CDC, this distinction matters in jewelry worn daily. Each charm is hand-finished to bring out the layered scale pattern, and a sterling silver jump ring comes attached.

The charm features the teardrop shape of a pine cone with rows of overlapping scales spiraling around the body in the Fibonacci pattern that appears throughout nature. Pine cones open and close in response to humidity, releasing seeds when conditions are right -- they have been symbols of renewal, fertility, and enlightenment since ancient Rome.

A natural gift for forest lovers, botanists, fall enthusiasts, hikers, or anyone who collects treasures from woodland walks. Add it to a nature bracelet alongside pine tree and acorn charms, wear it as a pendant, or buy two for earrings that bring the forest floor to your wardrobe.
