As each piece is painstakingly handmade, please note that 4-6 weeks is needed to fulfil the order. 

“...rural people exchanged bunches of Sichuan peppercorns as love tokens” and “the spice is still imbued with erotic symbolism because of the way its berries hang in pairs, like testicles.” - Fuchsia Dunlop

Crafted by the talented Doris Chou-Durfee 周雅立 of AMULET by D, you can now wear this bold "In Bloom" Sichuan pepper necklace for a lovely dinner out or as a gift to a loved one. 

Fitted with gorgeous red Czech glass beads and set with silk, brass, and a gold plated chain, this necklace is a quirky confluence of art and food! 

Note from Doris: This collaboration is close to my heart, not just because I love good food but also because i’m a devoted fan and consumer of 50Hertz products. Keeping in mind how fragrant and fresh these peppers are, I designed each limited edition piece to showcase the beauty of the Sichuan pepper plant. Each small branch and bud carries great potential and intense flavor, and my designs serve as a reminder to cherish the small joys in life. I hope you enjoy them!

Measurements:Pendant: 2 inches width, 2 inches length.
Chain: 18-20 inches length

Gorgeous and unique!

This unique necklace is even more gorgeous in person. Beautifully handcrafted, it is a true statement piece. And so fun to wear! Especially (but not only) if you love huajiao.

Beautiful and unique

The pendant came in a beautiful box along with a can of Sichuan pepper peanuts. It was a big hit with my wife, and even induced her to try the peanuts. It was a very creative idea that went over very well. 50Hertz has a unique line of products, and we love all of them.
