Made by hand · Free US shipping over $100 · 30-day returns
A leaf turns, drops and grows back. That makes it a quiet sign for starting again: a move, a new job, a year that opens fresh. Nothing more is claimed for it.
Most leaves here are crocheted by hand. The Ginkgo Brooch is gold-tone wire, 4.8 × 6.3 cm. Pearl Leaf Earrings carry a freshwater cultured pearl and weigh 6 g each. Golden Leaf Earrings are 4.2 × 5.8 cm at 7 g each. The ginkgo, a fan-shaped leaf, turns up twice: on a brooch and on a pair of earrings.
Two pairs are set by hand instead, in abalone shell and in cubic zirconia, and weigh 11–13 g each. The crocheted pairs stay at 5–7 g each. Leaves also come as a set, the Silver Leaf & Pearl Set.
Posts are 925 sterling silver where the fastening line says so. Nothing is solid gold or solid sterling. Keep leaves dry, put them on last, and store them in the paper drawer box they ship in.
Questions about leaves
What does a leaf mean as a gift?
A leaf turns and comes back, so it is often given for a new start: a move, a new job, a birthday that opens a new year. The meaning belongs to the giver; the leaf only holds it.
Are they heavy?
Crocheted leaf earrings weigh 5–7 g each. Abalone Leaf Earrings and Beaded Leaf Earrings weigh 11–13 g each. The Ginkgo Brooch is 9 g.
Are the posts sterling silver?
On some pairs. Where the fastening line reads 925 sterling silver, they are. Where it reads silver posts, we do not call them sterling.
How do I care for them?
Plating is a surface finish, so it asks for a little care. Keep it dry, put it on last after lotion and perfume, and store it in its box between wears.
Can I return it?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, unworn and in the box. If a piece arrives damaged or wrong, we cover it.
