About Acacia Clustdlws

Roedd y dylunydd wedi'i gyfareddu gan y ffurf geometregol o hedyn a roddwyd iddo gan ei ferch a dechreuodd y dyluniad. O ran natur, nid oes dim yn gyflawn ac mae popeth yn gyflawn yw'r meddwl cyntaf y gall rhywun ei feddwl pan fydd rhywun yn gweld y pâr hwn o glustdlysau. Mae siâp llyfn a hardd ar y fodrwy, ac mae'r meini gwerthfawr fel yr hedyn yn dod allan o'r ddaear, yn chwifio am eich sylw. Mae'n unigryw iawn, y natur, ac wrth gwrs y gemwaith.
