This lovely leaf came from one of the dozens of trees on my property near the Indiana Dunes. We are under leaf cover for half the year, and raking them the other!
 
I've electroformed this leaf in pure copper and gave it a hand-aged patina. It has a blue lace agate crystal at the center. This piece is lightweight and easy to wear. It comes on an 18"L faux leather cord with lobster claw clasp.
 
Pendant is 3"H and 2.5"W. NOTE: If you'd like a different cord option, message me in checkout. -------
 
-------------------
Electroforming is a unique process of combining chemistry and alchemy to take natural objects and plate them in copper. It can take up to three days to create a single piece. Each piece has been given a dark patina and good old fashioned polishing with steel wool. My work has been clear coated to halt the oxidation process and to keep your skin from turning green. Over time, the copper on your piece may need a coating of clear nail polish to continue to keep the oxidation to a minimum. Each piece is made by me in my studio right here in northwest Indiana, and is one-of-a-kind.
 
The stones I use spend time under moonlight for cleansing before I work with them. I choose my materials very carefully for quality and provenance, including cruelty-free and eco-harvesting. All purchases come carefully packaged and ready for gift-giving!
 
Sincerely, your Stone Sister, --Jayde
