HANDCRAFTED FROM THE HEARTS OF PINECONES

The knobcone is the most physically dense pinecone in the world. It is a “serotinous pyrofile” meaning it is a type of plant that will hold its seed in a protective state for a long period of time. In this case the reason why is because the seeds require exposure to forest fire to be able to germinate. The pinecones will crack apart when engulfed in flames of a sufficient temperature and release their seeds into the ashes below. Much like a phoenix, the saplings will burst forth from the ashes and begin the circle of life within the forest once again.

These necklaces are made from cross sections of this pinecone. The interlocking wings of the pinecone culminate to form the patterns visible on both sides of the pendants. Fibonacci spirals can be observed all throughout the natural world and this unique pinecone is no exception.
