Studio Spry charms are hand-sculpted, cast in metal, and hand-finished, creating a unique piece of art for every day wear. The "Fig Wasp Charm" is a special gesture towards the symbiotic relationship between the fig tree and the so-called fig wasp. In ancient times, the tiny fig wasp and the fig tree evolved together where the fig tree required the fig wasp to pollinate its (inverted) flowers and the fig wasp needed the fig fruits to lay eggs. Most modern figs today are bred not to need these insects for pollination. This charm is a symbol of the connection of our food to the natural world. 25% of the purchase price will be directly donated to Watermelon Sisters, a Palestinian-led volunteer-run humanitarian organization delivering critical aid in Gaza. Please note: All charms are made to order. Please allow 5-6 weeks for fulfillment. Solid Gold is possible based on the market price, please contact us for a quote. All charms come with a gold-filled or sterling silver jump ring and polishing cloth. The polishing cloth is impregnated with an anti-tarnish agent to restore a long-lasting shine. Chains for wearing charms are sold separately. U.S. Buyers have import taxes INCLUDED in the shipping charge. All other buyers outside the EU are responsible for all import taxes, customs duties/tariffs, and fees charged by your country.
