Watermelon Necklace 🍉
Production Times
Ready to ship items will usually be sent out within 3-5 business days. Friday is typically the day that I package everything up and ship them out.
In stock Ceramic items are ready to ship UNLESS the title says "PRE-ORDER". Count on pre-order ceramics to take up to 4-8 weeks as I need to run a full kiln load and while I'm typically always working on filling up the kiln, ceramics still require quite a bit of time including drying time, 2 kiln firings as well as waiting for the kiln to cool, and glazing time.
Made to order Fiber Art items and Journals typically take between 1-2 weeks to create, depending on my current workload. Some items are a little more time consuming and/or finicky to get right and those items will likely take longer.
If you need something quickly just send me a message, preferably before placing your order. Sometimes I am able to accommodate last minute custom orders and sometimes things are crazy around here! Just contact me and I will do my absolute best to accommodate you.
Adorable hand painted watermelon necklaces! I hand form and hand paint these with 3 layers of each color and then glaze them with a clear glossy glaze. Each necklace comes with a 16" hypoallergenic stainless steel chain with a lobster clasp. I make all my jewelry with either hypoallergenic niobium or stainless steel findings. The best part is, they will not tarnish!
Ceramic earrings are pretty sturdy since they're fired in a kiln at 2232°F (1220°C)! I've had mine fall without breaking. They are also waterproof!
Watermelons became a symbol of solidarity with Palestine after the 6 day war back in 1967 when Israel banned all displays of the Palestinian flag 🇵🇸 Since watermelons contain the same colors of the flag (and of course because many people enjoy this delicious fruit!) it became a subtle way of subverting the flag ban. Since I was a teenager, Palestine has held a special place in both my heart and my father's as he was the one who educated me on their history and oppression. I made these to show my solidarity with Palestinians and for each pair of watermelon earrings sold, I'm donating 20% of the proceeds to UNRWA, an organization that my father regularly made donations to.
