Fallen Leaf Earrings. Large

Gorgeous Hand-milled leaf earrings -Cottonwood leaves, imprinted into sterling silver, with a deep patina to emphasize texture. I've sawed the silver leaves slightly smaller than the actual leaf, which accounts for the difference in shape from a cottonwood leaf. -Accented with 22kt gold foil in the traditional Korean technique of keum-boo, which uses heat and subtle pressure to adhere the two metals. .:. The Growth collection came out of noticing the slow transformation of our first winter-spring shift on this land. Paying attention to which flowers came first, then second. The swelling of the creek from snowmelt. The bears return. And growth from the ashes of last summer's fires. .:. To be gentle on the planet, this piece is made from either reclaimed silver, melted down and hand processed by me, or recycled silver when necessary. Pieces ship in 100% recycled boxes.

I would highly suggest you buy her hand-crafted pieces." -Laura "I appreciate how much these and other of The Arrowleaf's jewelry match my rustic, simple, and outdoorsy style. Yet when I wear them I also feel elegant. Love these earrings! Thanks, Paige!" -Caroline *Note* All of my pieces are entirely handmade, which gives them natural variation (even between an earring pair) and 100% uniqueness. The handmade nature of the piece also means that there will be natural imperfections. It is this quality that I think gives each piece character and depth. This style does not appeal to everyone, however. If you love rough-hewn, made-with-your-hands pieces then I feel confident that you will love the work you receive.
