Blossom
A tiny, delicate, ethereal beauty - the cherryblossom flowers with riotous exuberance for an all too brief window during early Spring.
The faintly sweet, fresh scent that is barely a whisper - tissue thin petals that eventually fall in a snowy confetti drift. There's nothing more ephemerally beautiful than these moments.
'Hanami' is a centuries old tradition in Japan, where parties and feasts are held under the blooming cherry and plum blossom trees. The pastel blooms signify a type of memento mori - the unique beauty of impermanence.
A perfect beauty that is more special and treasured because of its fleeting nature.
The blooming of the trees also heralds the start of Spring, bringing the cyclical darkness of winter to an end and the hopeful start of new life.
These blossoms are hand carved from wax, to achieve a highly naturalistic look, inspired by the Art Nouveau period with its Japonisme influence. They are cast, in small batch, into sterling silver, through the ancient process of lost wax casting capturing the essence of Spring.
