Opossum Necklace

Calling all opossum lovers! Check out our brand new Opossum Necklace - handmade to order in our UK studio, from recycled sterling silver or solid gold. This intricate opossum pendant has so many adorable lifelike features. Check out the sweet face with an elusive smile, the little feet complete with five toes, and - if you choose the momma opossum version - the five teensy baby opossums clinging on to mom for dear life. Jana insisted that the babies needed to be jiggling freely rather than being solidly attached, so once she finished carving all the waxes, she passed them onto Ross who made it so. It doesn't get much better than this as far as opossum gifts go.

Did you know that opossums are North America's only marsupial? These little survivors carry their babies in a pouch like a tiny, tree-climbing kangaroo. They have a built-in superpower against snake venom, and a dramatic flair for playing dead when danger strikes! With their adorable beady eyes, opposable thumbs, and an appetite for pesky ticks, opossums are nature’s quirky, unsung heroes, quietly helping the ecosystem one snack at a time.
