From My Mother's Tropical Garden
 
Despite its name, the shower orchid (congea tomentosa) is not related to orchids in any way; its common name comes simply from the fact that it looks like an orchid. A tropical, evergreen vine, it's popular as an ornamental garden plant and for use in flower arrangements.
 
The 'petals' (actually bracts as the true flowers are tiny little nodules, almost, in the very centre  of the bloom) can be blush pink to a beautiful silvery grey, as were the ones I recently saw at a community garden in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
 
Moulded using Art Clay Silver which, when fired, magically transforms into pure silver, a pretty green peridot cabochon was added for an extra special tough. Presented on a 16" sterling silver belcher chain.
 
 
About Seadragon Silver
I was born in the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac, and I love creating simple, sleek jewellery. I use a lot of seaglass, most of which we find along the beautiful beaches of the North Norfolk coast here in England, as well as beautiful semi-precious gemstones, surfite, Fordite and dichroic glass. 
 
I'm proud of every piece I make, and I hope you enjoy wearing my jewellery as much as I love making it.
