As Betsey Carr, artist behind Foundling, says: is there really a cozier word than cocoon? Created from recycled and repurposed vintage materials, this charm necklace is comforting and warm -- indicative of the blossoming baby bump that the recipient shall have. (I've a friend who just announced her pregnancy -- and this is perfect for her.) The necklace is oxidized sterling silver, with a gorgeous blue aventurine bead to accompany the pendant, which is created using a page from a vintage dictionary and a coating of clear resin. Betsey wants the piece to remind the wearer that she is warm and safe -- but I think it doubles as an indication that the wearer is a place of warmth and safety, at least for the wee bundle cooking away inside.
