The Apple Charm: A Keepsake from the Garden of the Hesperides
At the heart of every House of Hesperides wreath lies a small, glowing apple. Inspired by the mythical Garden of the Hesperides - where golden apples held the promise of immortality - our signature quartz apple charm is a modern heirloom: a keepsake of the season, a token of beauty and myth, and a gift to carry into the months beyond.
Each charm is crafted from smooth, natural quartz with a delicate golden metal stem, designed to:
Be safe for skin – smooth, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic
Be environmentally friendly and reusable
Serve as a symbol of abundance, care, and timelessness
We suspend one within every wreath as a small emblem of transformation - from harvest to winter, from myth to home.
