Mother's Day gift...These ginkgoes are made to order, inspired by Ngan and her exciting line of exquistite jewelry at envejewelry.etsy.com/sg-en/
Cut from the side of a golden amber wine bottle, copper foiled and soldered back together with lead free (silver, copper alloy and tin), solder with a copper stem and surgical steel ear wires. A panel of expert was assembled (Nik of lillyella.etsy.com/sg-en/), to determine the proper dangle and other important tidbits.
A shops former Home Coming Queen finalist and Ingrid Bergman doppleganger from Rosemount High School tried on a pair, and after a rigorous stroll through the neighborhood--dashing to meet a young couple walking a mottled mini-wiener dog, and much ear scratching, belly rubbing and flipping of aforementioned frankfurter--commented, "I can feel the earrings, but they are totally comfortable." Upon further questioning, she said, "Yes, totally!"
If you're looking for a different type of leaf, or different style of bottle to dangle from yer own--don't be bashful about droppin' me a line to get the process percolatin'!
This may be the next big thing--The Noëlle Line(inspired by the cajoling and prodding of xenotees.etsy.com)--where nature, glass and metal dance in a different dimension--don't be the last person on your block to be a part of the deafening crescendo: order now! and don't forget the subliminals...matching cleavage danglers are sure to be barkin' at their heels!
Each leaf measures 1" x 1 1/2" with a 3/4" copper stem...unfortunately, if you add all the dimensions together you'll be 2" short of a Fellini film...so you'll have to add the subtitles!
Shipping First Class Package and First-Class International Package...if you want it to go Priority, I can send you a revised invoice for the difference.
I enjoy a natural patina as metals begin to oxidize in the scheme of things...silver solder lines and copper rods for leaf stems develop a lovely patina over time. In light, the pieces will present a dark solder line (I don't apply acid to the metals unless requested) and copper stems will appear dark with natural light. At night, the ambient light from indoors will give a different view, reflecting off the various metals.
