Jewels from the archives - Forget-me-Not nameplate necklace
Plant literacy and our capacity to name plants is declining. This Forget-me-Not necklace is a gesture towards halting this loss of knowledge. Through tapping into the weird, absurd and funny names plants are given, plants names (albeit common names) are kept in circulation through wearing them out and about. Naming confers respect and recognition and if we can’t name our plants we risk their loss. A riff on what many of us know as the Carrie necklace or Nameplate necklace these are nameplate necklaces with a twist.
Oxidised sterling silver
L 44 x W 4.6 x D 0.5 cm
