”I created this gorgeous necklace way back in the 2020 lockdowns, taking inspiration from a necklace I had when I was a little girl! I remember I was quite young and I was given a little silver apple on a black necklace cord from my lovely mum. To my astonishment it made a noise, and I’ve spent every year of my life trying to find a replica of this lovely little apple which I sadly misplaced in my teens. I remember even as a child I was absolute mesmerised by the fact a little piece of jewellery could hold music!
When it came to the 2020 lockdowns I decided to finally put my dream into reality and come up with something that made the exact same noise as my little apple, which I still remember the noise of JUST like it was tinkling away yesterday! (Have a listen for yourself here!)
The sound the necklace makes to me, reminds me of Springtime and the magic of nature. If nature could speak when the blossoms on the trees blow in the wind, I imagine this is the noise the blossoms would make when they talk to each other… I’ve probably had FAR too much of the children’s books ‘the faraway tree’ in my head growing up, because obviously trees cannot talk, but if they could- then this is definitely the gorgeous tinkling noise they would make as they gently blow in the breeze!
That’s why when I finally created the perfect musical ball necklace after over a year of experimentation with it, I knew it belonged PERFECTLY in our cherry blossom collection. The final stage of perfecting this design to me was to etch our gorgeous sketches of our cherry blossoms onto the surface of the ball. These sketches can also be found on our Sakura cherry blossom candle and diffuser, and if you have been with us a while, you may remember the cherry blossom sketches sitting pride of place on our Springtime boxes too (a limited edition packaging we had in 2021 and 2022!).
This piece is SO special to me and I hope it will become a treasured piece in your own jewellery collection too. It is obviously new for 2023 and was not in our original cherry blossom collection which I released back in 2008- but I believe it will become a firm favourite and is for certain, my favourite piece I have ever created.”
“Anyone can wear and enjoy this beautiful calming musical ball, it helps with anxiety because you can play with it and listen to the soothing sounds it makes, but it is also timed very purposely with the announcement of my pregnancy- since from about 20 weeks, babies in the womb can hear and respond to music- wearing this on a long chain can help an expectant mumma to connect with their unborn child- and then once the baby arrives too. I have learned that the sounds the baby hears in the womb can be recognised outside too- so I know when my own little girl arrives she will be familiar and soothed by the tinkling of my special necklace.
We mastered spinning and moving masterpieces, and to me the next thing seemed obvious- Let’s add music to our masterpieces… and so here it is! The cherry blossom musical ball was born!
