Aspen Leaf Imprint Necklace - Sterling Silver

A real aspen leaf was collected to make this realistic necklace. 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. This Sterling Silver leaf is slightly bent to resemble the natural curling of fall leaves.
