The Mini Succulent Pendant is a handcrafted sterling silver necklace made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Botanical Collection, a series of nature-inspired jewellery created from real flowers, plants and organic forms.
The design began with a real succulent selected from my garden. It was carefully cast to preserve the tiny rosette shape, layered leaves and natural surface texture of the original plant.
Worn on a sterling silver chain, this pendant offers a delicate connection to the garden in a smaller, more subtle form. The result is refined, organic and softly sculptural: a wearable keepsake shaped by nature, memory and the handmade process.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each pendant is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original succulent form was cast in sterling silver, preserving its natural texture and structure. Slight differences in texture, shape and finish should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 1.5 cm high x 1 cm wide. 45cm length chain.

FAQ
Q1: How do I clean the Mini Succulent Pendant ?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the succulent form has small, hard-to-reach details, a silver dip may be used occasionally if needed. Always follow the silver dip instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Q2: What is the difference between the Mini Succulent Pendant and the Small Succulent Pendant?
A: The main difference is the way each pendant sits on the chain. The Mini Succulent Pendant hangs from a small ring at the top of the succulent, so the plant form drops gently from the chain. The Small Succulent Pendant is suspended from either side of the succulent, allowing the flower-like form to sit in the centre of the chain. Both are cast from real succulent forms in sterling silver, but they have a slightly different balance and presence when worn.
Q3: Is the Mini Succulent Pendant suitable as a gift?
A: Yes. Each piece is packaged in an Olivia Dryden Jewellery branded velvet pouch and is suited to gardeners, plant lovers and those who appreciate handmade jewellery with natural detail and meaning.
