The Story
This dazzling gold-plated sunflower pendant-necklace shines with a radiance so palpable, you can practically feel its charming glow. Upbeat and full of a sunny cheer that is contagious, this piece—modeled after the esteemed Helianthus—lights up when you walk into a room. If you're in the need for a mood lift, put this shimmering amulet on and you will feel the same hopeful, sunny energy that had even Vincent Van Gogh painting happy times in the South of France.
Ever the optimist, the Sunflower is a reminder that life is what you make of it—and what you choose to see. While some may simply see a yellow flower… others will see the sun.

How to Wear
All of the about 70 species of Helianthus are native to the Americas, most of them in North America (only three are native to South America).
The seeds of sunflowers are popular as an animal feed. Watch out squirrels love them!
The giant whorled sunflower (Helianthus verticillatus) is an endangered species.
Van Gogh and Helianthus are inextricably linked. In 1888, the artist painted a series of them to hang in Gauguin’s bedroom in the Yellow House in the South of France, where both of them would work.
In France, a sunflower is a tournesol. Seeds were imported to Europe in the 16th century.
South Dakota should be the Sunflower State (not Kansas). Worldwide, the Ukraine and Russia lead.
