Tomorrow is the first full day of summer, and what’s more summery than plump, juicy cherries?
Especially if you can wear them as jewelry!

The “Coral Cherry” necklace is a combination of hand-cut sterling silver leaves and stems and coral “cherry” beads.  The leaves have been hammered, to give them a leaf texture and then treated with a black patina for a soft vintage look.  Each necklace is handmade by indie jewelry designer Rubygirl.
