Australian native flower jewellery, from waratah to wattle
Australian native flowers, drawn in full botanical detail and printed onto clear acrylic, then cut around the shape of the flower so the blooms and leaves make the outline. Lightweight drops on stud tops, designed by us and packed in Sydney's Inner West.
Waratah, golden wattle, bottlebrush, gum blossom, and whatever else the bush gives us next. The artwork is botanical rather than stylised, printed onto clear acrylic and cut around the outline of the flower, so the shape follows the blooms and leaves instead of sitting in a plain oval. The charms are flat printed acrylic, so all the shading and dimension comes from the artwork itself.
Each design hangs from its own stud top, in glitter, coloured acrylic, or real timber, and where it's timber the grain runs differently on every pair.
Australian native earrings suit spring best, wattle especially, with Wattle Day on 1 September. A bottlebrush in the middle of summer works just as well. They make an easy gift for native flower lovers, gardeners, and teachers at the end of term, and a flat acrylic charm posts cheaply anywhere in the world, which makes them good for homesick Australians overseas.
