Thank you for the appreciation. I understand that $25 is a lot of money, especially for a necklace; but in all honesty, my friends who sell pine nut necklaces like mine sell them for over $100. There is time and effort that increases the price. I gather the pine cones myself; I hike in the woods and get them. I grind down the pine nuts by hand. It is a lot of work.

Plus all the money made from these necklaces help pay for my daughter’s trip to Disneyland.
