A little more detail…

Dandelion clock jewellery – handmade with love and recycled from a vintage fruit spoon.

Dandelion clocks, the seed heads of dandelions, are richly connected to our childhood and thus the passage of time, and the fleeting nature of life. They symbolize a connection to nature, evoke nostalgia, and can also represent wishes, hope, and new beginnings. Blowing on a dandelion clock to make a wish is a common childhood activity, linking it to innocence, playfulness, and carefree moments.

The transformation from a bright yellow flower to a delicate, airy seed head mirrors the progression of time and the cyclical nature of life. The act of blowing the seeds away can symbolize the passing of moments, years, or even generations. The ease with which the dandelion seeds are scattered by the wind highlights the fragility and transience of life, reminding us to appreciate each moment.

Dandelion clocks are often associated with making wishes, adding a layer of hope and optimism to their character.

The design is individually freehand sketched onto the surface of the spoon. A jewellers piercing saw is used to delicately cut and carve the design from the spoon. The pendant is then gently ‘tumble’ polished to give it a brilliant white silver lustre. It is finished with a wee charm. For your own customisation you can choose the type of finish and style of wee charm. The actual ‘donor’ spoon can also included which closely connects the wearer to the interesting prior history and green, ethical origins.

Size : Approx 32 mm * 23 mm

    Timeless

    I bought this for a friend because she loves dandelions. For me, it evokes the sweet memory of summer holidays, picking dandelions & blowing them to find out the time. A beautiful pendant made with thoughtful creativity.

    wishing on a weed

    I have loved dandelions since I was young blowing them away for wishing and telling the time for the faeries that live amongst them. This piece brings back these memories and sparks that nature love within me again. Very much connect with this piece im now saving for a present to me.

    Beautiful & Unique

    My daughter was absolutely over the moon with her pendant (& engraved spoon) .. It is so beautifully made, so clever! And of course, unique. Thank you so much

  5. Claire Blewett (verified owner) –

    This pendant is the perfect size. It’s a really simple design idea but technically very detailed and incredibly effective and beautiful in the way it has been created. I also love having the donor spoon with additional engraving making it a separate beautiful item connecting the pieces together. I am delighted with it. Very cleverly packaged and delivered quickly. Ideal present.
