SILVER LEAF NECKLACE now on ETSY!

You may have seen my Silver Leaf Earrings online (or perhaps you are one of the lucky few, who own a pair) but have you seen my Silver Leaf Necklace yet?  If you see me in person, then the answer is probably "yes", because I wear mine all the time.  I've been keeping this treasure to myself for some time, but I've recently decided to release this lovely design in my Etsy shop!  Previously, I only made a couple of these pendants to sell at shows, but now you can win one on Etsy!


My Silver Leaf pendant is effortlessly graceful, hanging 1.5 inches in overall length. The width of the pendant is about 3/4 inch at it's widest point. Each pendant is entirely handmade and comes with a matching sterling silver ball chain. Hand built from scratch, I use both fine (.999) and sterling (.925) silver. Lovely and organic, the silver leaf is highly textured and reflects light beautifully! A hand-applied satin finish helps the details sing!

This pendant was designed to coordinate with my Silver Leaf Earrings. The Earrings come in two lengths:

Lepidopterans in my Shop

So for the last few years I have been using resin in my jewelry to encapsulate organic materials such as birch bark, moss, flower petals and lichens. (You can view my entire "Captured Collection" here). Last fall I found a few discarded butterfly and moth wings and have been excited to try my resin technique on them.

If these lovely Lepidoptera pendants make your heart flutter, be sure to catch one before they all fly away.  Each piece is one of a kind and available in my Etsy shop now.
