When you meet one of these birds you can't help but gasp! That barred pattern across their back and tail is so unique, and then those red heads! I always wondered why someone would incorrectly name them, though. Why wouldn't the red be in reference to their heads? They do have a very slight red belly patch. And it isn't even really red! They even describe it as pink. But really? Who named these guys? They have a very distinct, "churr" sound they make to converse with each other that you can pick out of a crowd. I just recently learned that they drum on trees as another way to talk to their mate! 

This one of a kind woodpecker vase necklace was made to bring along your favorite nature findings. These vases are not meant to hold water because they are made from sterling silver. The water will tarnish your silver and will make you wet. Not fun at all! But, there are so many things you can put into your vase. Even in the dead of winter in Massachusetts I found so many pretty twigs and long past flowers and ferns to add to my vase. Red twig dogwood and blueberry bushes are the most beautiful bright red over the winter! A little houseplant sprig, some ferns, and it will be fun to search around your local flower shop to find small flowers that would look perfect in your vase! Dried lavender is a favorite because it is not only beautiful but smells wonderful! A pleasant way to make you take pause and breathe deeply. 

The sterling silver necklace chain is about 20.5 inches long. The vase itself measures about 2 inches tall and 1 inch wide. Because of the looped design of the chain you can choose to clasp the lobster claw in a different spot to make the necklace a bit shorter. 

This one of a kind vase necklace will be packaged up and mailed off to you within 3-5 business days.
