Who knew onions could be so chic? Or that you really could turn someone into your Lady of Shallot.

The allium is a plant family that includes the onion, as well as garlic, chive, leek, shallot and the lily. Here, Paulette Werger takes the plant’s form and turns it into an ethereal necklace. Werger has rendered the design in sterling silver, accented with 18k and 22k yellow gold. The piece is available through Seattle’s Facere Jewelry Art, and sells for USD $1881.
