Echinacea Coneflower Vase Necklace

Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos, which means hedgehog. This refers to the flower's spiky, cone-shaped center. I think that is the best way to name a plant. By what adorable animal it resembles. I created this coneflower vase necklace because they are one of the most beloved flowers in my native garden. It seems to attract everyone! These plants that are in the daisy family are also medicinal. They are used for many different things but my favorite is helping to strengthen my immune system and healing me when I have a cold or the flu. So, pretty, beneficial to our native pollinators, and good for us! The vase including the handle and three loops that hold it onto a necklace measures about 2.75 inches tall. Just the vase itself measures about 1.75 inches tall. It is about 1.25 inches across at the widest point. It will come on a removable sterling silver necklace that is 18 inches long. A little rose cut purple amethyst sits at the top of the vase. Amethyst is February's birt
