These fine silver (99.9% pure silver) earrings are made with real vine leaves that I have found in my garden. The beauty of nature is captured in silver, each one is unique just like the leaves they are made from. Wear these beautiful woodland leaves to show your love of nature! These earrings hang a little over two inches long in total length (approx 52mm). varying very slightly depending on the leaf used to make it. All other components are sterling or fine silver.

If you would prefer these earrings a little shorter, I can leave out the wire wrapped silver bead and hang the leaf directly from the earring wire. Just let me know in the "notes to seller" upon purchase.

If you are interested in a custom version, I have many natural precious stone beads available such as peridot, labradorite, moonstone, prehnite, amethyst. I would love to make custom oak leaf earrings just for you! Please don't hesitate to contact me!

About Metal Clay/Fine Silver and my process:

These unique items are made from metal clay. Metal clay is made from eco-friendly reclaimed silver. The pure silver particles recovered from the photo developing process and mixed with a binder made of water and plant-based organic materials. In raw form, it's malleable like clay. When fired, it becomes a fine [.999] silver piece of metal.

Every piece is unique. Each piece is made from raw silver with loving care and attention to every detail from start to finish by hand. They are shaped, sanded, and fired in a kiln at 1650 degrees for hours for maximum strength and durability. They are then hand polished, tumbled with steel shot for more shine and work-hardened strength, then oxidized and polished by hand again. The finished product is 99.9% pure fine silver that does not tarnish as easily as sterling. Tiny lines and flaws are characteristic of metal clay and add to its artisan feel. No two pieces are ever alike.


The difference between fine silver and sterling silver is that fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. Sterling is 92.5% silver, with the rest being other metals such as copper and tin. They look and wear the same. You can polish and care for them the same, but fine silver is more tarnish-resistant than sterling. Fine silver is almost pure silver, which makes it a more precious and valuable metal than sterling silver.
