Description

This pendant was made with a real leaf, using fine silver clay. After coating the leaf, with clay paste, it was torch-fired to harden the metal and remove the organic material. Then, the piece was polished by hand and in a tumbler before being coated with a patina finish to bring out the detail and shine. Hand-burnishing was the final step in the process. The pendant can be worn with either the front or back of the leaf showing, as both sides are beautiful! The front side has a dark grey patina, while the back side is shiny with golden accents. The leaf itself measures one inch long and 7/8 inches wide, and rests on an 18" antiqued sterling silver chain with lobster clasp. Delicate and beautiful, with a finely-detailed texture!
