A stunning handmade silver leaf pendant or necklace made using a real oak leaf. Inspired by nature and captured forever as this unique piece of jewellery. This is a really heavy piece and uses 12.1grams of silver - eek! One of my heaviest pieces of work ever.

 

  • Approximate length of leaf ? cm (I'll add mesaurements in the week but see photo with my hand for scale for now!)
  • Hanging on a sterling silver snake chain (45cm)
  • Presented in a gift box. (Esther Priestley gift boxes - are made from jewellery boxes are made from FSC®-certified cardboard and water-based glue and the foam insert uses Tall oil – a by-product extracted from tree pulp during paper production, making them an truly eco-friendly design)

The process: The leaf was collected on local walk and whilst it was still fresh  I coated it with the first layer of silver clay.  Then over a process of several weeks I added layers - up to about 9 in total.  The delicate clay shapes then went into my kiln, where the actual leaf itself burns away, leaving behind the imprint in silver.
