I love orchids and have two Phalaenopsis that I grow in my house. So when I saw this moth orchid pendant on Cybèle’s Facebook photos (and at their sale in Ponsonby), I knew it was something I wanted. But there’s no way I could drop $200-$400 on a piece of jewellery, no matter how exceptionally beautiful it is.
Despondent, I walked into my local hospice store and found a Colmanara orchid brooch/pendant for only $5. All I had to do was find an old silver chain and voila! My own orchid necklace, better than the original!
