Triad of Trillum Necklaces

Much of my jewelry is inspired by the landscape of the Pacific Northwest interpreted through ancient metalsmithing techniques such as chasing and repousse. These three trillium necklaces are interpretations of the life cycle of the delicate trillium wildflower. This flower comes up early in the spring in the understory of the Oregon forests. It starts as a white flower and as it is fertilized it begins to turn a purple-garnet color and close up.
