Gilded Natural Magnolia Leaf Earrings
Gilded Natural Magnolia Leaf Earrings
The Process: Each natural magnolia leaf has the chlorophyll carefully removed leaving the skeleton & veins intact. It is then preserved with an electroforming process encasing each leaf in copper for extra strength and durability. Lastly, the leaves are encased in a heavy layer of precious metals available in a myriad of colors & patinas.
Each beautiful leaf is gilded by hand with Italian metal leaf flakes, available in a myriad of stunning color mixes. The size, shape & color of each leaf will vary with each leaf creating a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece.
These earrings are very petite, lightweight & wafer-like & even more beautiful in person. Perfect size for earrings, which vary from 1 - 1.5 inches. The earring card is 3 x 3 inches to give you an idea of leaf sizing.
