Willow-Down Snow Necklace
925 sterling silver, 1-carat moissanite, for daily wear
It does what an everyday necklace should: 1-carat moissanite set in 925 silver, resting where the collarbones meet, quiet up close. The full story of Willow-Down Snow is below.
Cast in one piece of 925 sterling silver with the 1-carat moissanite set low by hand - it will not catch on sleeves, scarves or hair. Weighs feather-light; made for all-day wear.
Arrives with a silver-polishing cloth and a fabric pouch; clearly stamped S925. No fussy upkeep - just remove it before swimming or bathing.
Symbolism
Willow-Down Snow
When Xie An asked what snow resembled, his nephew said salt scattered in the air. His niece Xie Daoyun answered: 'Better to say willow down lifting on the wind.' Salt is dead; down is alive - she turned snow into an early letter from spring. Romance is exactly this: reading the cold thing as warm, so the snow no longer melts in your palm - it flies.
