From the leafy forest hearth, a humble pinecone with its rough conical barbs is suspended from a classic belcher chain.

Wisdom and mischievousness are uncommon bedfellows but in Karen Walker’s latest jewellery collection. For those creatures who prefer a pine to an oak the most precious pine cone you ever saw is here as a pendant; impossibly small with every individual seed clearly defined.

Pinecone is 14.9mm long x 8.6mm wide, and the fine belcher chain is 45 cm.
