A sweet Mānuka necklace cleverly cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, finished with a sterling silver chain and clasp.

The Mānuka (Tea-tree) is a very precious flowering native New Zealand tree. It has the most beautiful clusters of sweet little flowers in either a deep crimson red or delicate pinky white. The reason for Manuka’s importance is derived from the well proven medicinal properties of the Mānuka honey that comes from these trees.

Tania’s necklace depicts three beautifully rounded Mānuka flowers nestled in leaves. It is a tribute to classic flower bouquet jewellery and sits high on a shorter 40cm length chain. The magic is in the secret of its perfectly identifiable flowers which show this is no ordinary piece but one that links to nowhere else on earth except here in Aotearoa. 

The thicker nature of the silver gives this necklace a substantial feel. Like many of Tania Mallow's other pieces this design is created with comfort and quality at the forefront. The flowers are enhanced by a skillful oxidization technique which brings the carved lines to life.
