Eco Macadamia Shell w/Swarovski Golden Shadow Dome Pendant

These Eco-Friendly earrings are a real conversation piece, made from the shell of a macadamia nut. The shell is extremely hard so has to be drilled to make our jewelry and keeps them from the trash bin. Our dad planted the tree in the late 50s and it has grown to dwarf the house by several feet. If you are at all familiar with macadamia nuts, you know how labor intensive they are to crack (you need a vice) and why they are so expensive. The squirrels love them too and have no problem getting the nut out, leaving no trace it was ever there. So, whoever gets there first, us or the squirrels, gets the nuts but they do leave the shells for us to gather for our unique jewelry.

This picture really doesn't show the unique piece that it is but the small macadamia shell has gold, scalloped spacers on both sides of a Swarovski clear crystal rondelle, sitting atop a gold, Swarovski faceted dome. Hanging below the dome is a crystal rondelle and gold spacer with a small gold bead at the bottom. The shell was sprayed with a cherry wood tone stain. The gold chain is 19" in length with a gold lobster clasp and the pendant hangs an additional 1 1/2" long.
