It must be remembered that though the thorn may draw blood, it is meant to protect something of great beauty.

This piece is a tribute to Mother Nature and symbolizes protection and sacrifice.

Cast from the stem of a rose, these thorns have been forever immortalized in the Spinam Nigrum Necklace. The sterling silver has been darkened to a dark grey and buffed to a matte sheen, showing off its little branch details.

The branch measures 2 1/2” and hangs on 28” darkened silver bar chain. Make a note with your purchase if you would like the chain shorter.
On another note, I️ have decided somewhat last minute to upgrade to a bar and link chain for aesthetic reasons. The chain on the necklace you receive will be very similar to the chain lying next to the necklace in the last photo. Because of this, it will take about one week to ship (awaiting the chain).

There are 8 of these necklaces and once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Please be aware, due to the nature of this piece, the thorns are a little pokey, so wear with care. I️ have softened and rounded the points a bit, but they are somewhat spiked. I️ wear mine often and have no problem with it.

Note △ Items in my shop are made from remnants from the past, found objects, and materials from nature, allowing me to maintain our ethic of reuse and recycle. Any animal product used is either found, antique, or from a cruelty free source. My aesthetic is to leave things natural and raw. All antique pieces and chain are left with the natural oxidization of the metal. Due to this, some items may have slight imperfections.
