Description
Considered a living fossil, the ginkgo tree has no known living relatives and has endured for millions of years with little change and becoming a symbol of strength, hope and peace. This unique pair of nature inspired fine silver (.999) earrings began as ginkgo leaves I found on a walk and created these true beauties that any nature lover or gardener would love.
I can send these leaf or, if in season, I can make new ones just for you.
LEAF PROCESS:
Organic objects such as leaves often make the most unique and stunning patterns. Intricate and realistic detailing of leaves can only be achieved through a process that is very much a labor of love. After finding a gorgeous leaf that has fallen off the tree, I bring it home and paint about fifteen layers of precious metal clay slip onto the leaf. I then fire it in the kiln to produce a gorgeous, nature-inspired fine silver (.999) leaf that can be cherished forever.
