About Dandelion Pete

Dandelion ni pete iliyochochewa na umbo la ua la dandelioni. Pete hii imeundwa na kundi la petali, na kila petali hubeba maelezo tofauti. Baadhi ya petali zimepindishwa, baadhi zimewekwa almasi, na nyingine zimechongwa kwa mistari myembamba. Kipande hiki kimetengenezwa kwa dhahabu ya karati 18 katika rangi mbili, kikitumia mbinu kadhaa tata za ufundi wa dhahabu. Mikunjo na mistari hutumika kueleza wepesi na uhuru. Uchongaji na almasi huakisi mwanga mchana na usiku. Umbo la ukanda limeundwa ili kufanya pete iwe rahisi kuvaa.
