1977 Strawberry Necklace
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is an actual resin-dipped freeze-dried strawberry from 1977. This tray contained a few apple slices, a head of colliflower, and a bunch of wonderfully funky in-tact strawberries! They were in great condition considering their age! We were still residing in New York at this time these were preserved, so these were most likely grown on our Long Island farm.
Each flower (or strawberry) is carefully submerged multiple times in a very thin UV-resistant resin and sanded and buffed to eliminate rough edges. The hole drilled is recoated with resin to add resiliency.
The chain is a 24 inch gold plated brass snake style necklace, adjustable down to 22.5 inches. A laser engraved wood tag displays the year of the flower on one side and our logo on the other! (Standardized picture of tag shown).
Flowers and plants naturally vary in size and color. Your item will not be identical to what is pictured but will be similar.
