Maple Leaf Double-Sided Necklace

Show your Canadian and Provincial pride with this double-sided pendant necklace! One side honours our beautiful country with our Canadian Maple leaf while the other celebrates your province of choice. (see below for available provincial flowers)

Canadian Maple Leaf

Canadian Maple is the tree of tolerance and honour. It is rebellious, tough, full of imagination and originality. The leaves in these pieces come from maple trees found on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, harvested in the fall as the leaves start to turn. Our maple turn colours that range from golden to dusty rose to burgundy and can be seen in each piece.

Pacific Dogwood

Adopted in 1956 as the floral emblem of British Columbia, the pacific dogwood can be seen in bloom from April to May. The origin of the name dogwood has been debated, however one theory refers to a European species of dogwood (Cornus sanguinea) that was used for making skewers, or daggers, and would have been referred to as dag, dague, or dagge (dagger) in old English. Regardless, the beauty of this flower stands for itself!

We are conscious about our environment and are aware of the regulations regarding the collection of all our sacred blooms. Please note that these pieces come from dogwood on private property with explicit approval from the owner. No trees have been harmed and the flowers were harvest at the end of their life-cycle prior to pruning season. It is illegal in British Columbia to pick dogwood without permission.

Alberta Wild Rose

Wild roses have been used as a source of food and in healing remedies for centuries, but are most famously know for their beautiful fragrance. Wild roses can be found across Canada ranging in colours from pale to bright pink. Adopted in 1930 as the provincial flower of Alberta, the suggestions were passed along to the Department of Education for review, but the final decision was made by the province’s schoolchildren.

During the pressing process of these flowers, the brighter pink petals dry to a deep purple, sometimes exhibiting a shade of neon!

Saskatchewan Tiger Lily

The official provincial flower of Saskatchewan is the Western Red Lily, but as you cannot pick them without causing significant harm to the plant, the Tiger Lily is often used in its place. Tiger Lily is the flower or mercy and compassion. It is also a symbol of pride, much like the tiger itself, this flower stands with a confidence like no other.

Manitoba Prairie Crocus

Each leaf or flower has been collected with care, pressed and dried to create a stunning interpretation of the uniqueness of each of us, no two pieces are alike.

• 8mm, 10mm or 12mm sterling silver double-sided pendant
• 18″ sterling silver chain
• Info cards included

Please allow for slight variances as this is made from nature so no two pieces will be identical.
