“Gladiolus” 18-karat Rose gold and urushi Pendant

Inspiration

We met a man who wanted to celebrate his wife through a bespoke piece of jewelry. On meeting with him, we learned that she is a master gardener who has been able to grow tropical gladiolus flowers in the high desert of Colorado, USA.

Urushi is a distinctive art form that can be seen across Japanese culture.

Process

This level of skill, talent, and gardening prowess led The Intrepid Wendell to create this beautiful tribute to its owner.
