Elven Earrings- Oxidized Pure Silver retailer Sassafras, Real Leaves by Quintessential Arts

One with the forest~


Sassafras is one of few plants to make three differently shaped leaves on the same tree. The first is a retailer simple leaf, the second is the mitten with 2 lobes, and the third is the ghost with 3 lobes. While the root is traditionally used in medicine, the leaves taste like fruitloops ;)

Handmade with a respectfully harvested baby sassafras leaf.

There is an amazing amount of detail in the leaf, considering how small it is!
The leaf is 7/8" long and a little over 3/8" across at its widest.
Total earring length is a little over 1 1/4" long. The back of the leaves are smooth.



Fine silver jewelry is 99.9% pure silver (not 92.5% sterling silver), containing eco-friendly recycled silver, mostly from old electronics. I make my own molds or press a leaf directly into the silver clay, each one is unique. I form and cut, file, sand, and polish every piece by hand, then tumble it for strength and extra shine.
All other metal used is sterling silver, oxidized and lightly polished like an antiqued heirloom treasure if you so choose.
