Smaller versions lie in the chicken wire case with gold honeycomb segments on necklaces floating in honey inside the sugar pyramids. Should someone buy the piece they would have the choice of conserving the object as a whole or engage in the destructive process necessary to reach the object of their desire -- break the sugar, exhume the honey drenched necklace, lick it dry and then proceed to wear it. Special thanks to Papabubble Caramels Artesans.
