Eco Friendly Medium Garlic Mustard Leaf Silver Pendant.
 
This pendant has been individually handcrafted in Croyde, North Devon from 'Silver Clay', a wonderful material made of tiny silver particles that have been recycled from the waste of the silver industry, which when fired become 99.99% pure solid silver.
 
The beautiful leaf pattern on the front of the pendant has been achieved by imprinting a real Garlic Mustard leaf into the clay leaving the delicate leaf vein pattern onto the surface of the silver. It has then been coated with a patina which blackens the surface of the silver, before polishing the surface of the silver back to a silver finish, leaving the patina in the veins to accentuate them beautifully.
 
Each pendant has been made using an different leaf, no two pendants are the same and I have many different shapes and sizes to choose from. Please view each leaf available in the photo's, the sizes can be seen in the relevant dropdown box, and then select select your favourite!
 
The garlic mustard leaf is also known as 'Jack by the hedge' It is a beautiful heart shaped leaf that is common in the hedgerows around the UK. 
 
The Pendant is available either as a pendant alone, or strung on your choice of Sterling Silver Chain. It will arrive with you in a Recycled Wild Silver Jewellery box, safely packaged in 100% recycled, plastic free packaging.
 
Leaves symbolise growth, rebirth, the circle of life and new beginnings. To give a leaf would be perfect for someone experiencing difficult times so that they can focus on their ability to flourish anew and to take strength from the natural dynamic cycles of life. They are also the perfect gift to wish someone the best when starting a new venture, or at the beginning of something new and exciting.
 
I plant a tree for every order placed!
