Fine Silver Fern Leaf Necklace with Amazonite Bead ad Leather Chain

Inspired by Mother Nature, this fine silver fern leaf was found on one of my walks in the woods. It is finished on an Amazonite bead and leather chain that is adjustable to be worn long or as a choker.

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.
