Handmade from impressions of real miniature ginkgo leaves pressed into fine silver clay.  These beautiful earrings hang from hand made sterling silver ear wires.  The earrings were given a darkening patina and then polished to a satin shine, leaving the patina in the recesses of the ginkgo leaf details allowing it to really stand out.  

Details:

Length is 1 3/8 inches, including ear wires, by 1/2 inch wide.

Fine silver metal clay consists of fine silver particles and a binder.  After forming, drying, refining the piece is fired in a kiln.  During this time the binder burns off and the result is a piece that is .999 pure silver.
