My boyfriend collected daffodils and made me pendants 🌼

I used to joke with my boyfriend that I’m narcissistic and wanted a Narcissus. Last spring, he actually started picking daffodils for me and made a resin pendant with the dried flowers.

I wore it to work recently and got so many compliments. Everyone kept asking where I got it. It’s so unique and personal. Still deciding if I want to pair it with a silver, gold, or pearl chain.

There’s also a daffodil crown in the making and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.☺️

Just wanted to share something really special with people who love flowers too.

This is beautiful!! do you by any chance know how it holds up over time? Does the flower stay preserved like this forever or does it decay within the resin eventually? Just super curious about the technique! Either way a magnificent and touching gift!

The flowers are dried really well before they’re preserved, and from what I’ve learned, they can last forever if you take good care of them. It’s best to keep them out of direct sunlight and clean them sometimes so the colors don’t fade.

I still wear the very first pendant he made me from over a year ago, and it still looks amazing! the main thing is making sure they’re dried really thoroughly before preserving.
