Birch Drip Necklace
Add a touch of elegance to your necklace stack with our Birch Drip Necklace! We love to wear it as our "first layer" with other MFM necklaces. With a 14-16" chain length, it's versatile and pairs well with multiple necklines. The subtlety textured birch drips, made from real birch bark, add sophistication to an otherwise simple thin cable chain. Cast into solid 14k yellow gold for effortless luxury.
Birch drips come on our standard thin cable chain. If you would like a different chain, chain length, or to personalize this piece with gemstones, diamonds, or engravings, get in touch.
First, we hand-cut pieces of birch bark in our GA studio. We then coat the birch in a thin wax. The wax is cast into solid 14k yellow gold using the lost wax casting method and hammered into shape.
The lost wax casting method is a process where wax models are created and put into a vat of investment. The best way to explain investment is to akin it to concrete; both begin as a powder, water is added so is takes the form of a liquid. After some time, the liquid hardens, and in speaking about investment, the hardened investment hardens around the wax model. The wax-in-investment vat is put into an oven where the wax is melted out, and a cavity in the shape of the model remains. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, and your jewelry comes out! A quick quench, cleaning, and polish, and it's ready to love and wear for generations.
