Aspen Leaf Imprint Earrings - Sterling Silver

A real aspen leaf was collected to make these realistic earrings. It was carefully pressed to make a mirror image imprint into Sterling Silver. The true shape of the natural leaf was followed for contour. Each tiny vein can been seen in detail. Deep contrast was achieved by oxidizing the surface for deep contrast. These Sterling Silver leaves are slightly bent to resemble the natural curling of fall leaves.
