The Story
Some secrets hide directly in plain sight; while the Acorn may appear quite bold and brash — with a hardened shell wall that makes it a tough nut to crack (quite literally) — like so many of us, behind its tough exterior, the Acorn carries something very dear, and very fragile, within: the seed of the very Oaktree itself. This vulnerable inner-passenger is, in fact, the very reason the Acorn possesses such a thick husk in the first place; but while the seed must be protected, it must also see the light in order to sprout and grow into the Oak it is destined to be.
With a gold-cast cap and oak-colored, matte grey gunmetal antique finish for the body, this acorn pendant necklace glints brilliantly in the bronze, Autumn sun. Wearing this necklace draped across your heart, make sure you honor Acorn's trusted secret by allowing yourself to find your inner sunshine and sprout into the beautiful Oak that lies within.
Any color that makes the gunmetal glimmer is a winner.

How to Wear
Identify the oak tree by the acorn, which is a nut technically, but it contains the seed of the oak. You’ll have to be quite studied in oakology though. There are more than 600 species of oaks.
The cap on the head of an acorn is properly called a cupule.
The Caerhays Estate in Cornwall, England has a stupendous collection of rare oaks, including historic Chinese and Japanese oaks from the 1860s collected by plant collectors. The gardens are 120 acres, and will blow away magnolia fiends, too.
