Dog Rose Necklace designed by Philippa Holland. For the Ode To Artemis collection Philippa was inspired by the Hellenic goddess of forests and hills, Artemis the huntress.

The Dog Rose Necklace is made as you would a daisy chain, with the "stem" of one flower threaded through a loop in the next. Rose gold 'pen' plating is applied by hand, which further highlights the natural textures and detail of the Dog Roses.
