Sunflower Ring

$86.00

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas. From the Americas, sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient. The plant has a rough, hairy stem as well as broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves, and circular flower heads. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds, often in the hundreds, on a receptacle base.

In the 1880s, Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh started a series of sunflower paintings which have now become famous icons and are one of the most instantly recognizable painting of our time.

The Sunflower Ring is made of hand-patinated bronze with gold leaf and a druzy stone in the center.
