About this item
An elegant Oak leaf necklace in recycled fine silver, created using a mould that I took from a real leaf that I found whilst on a woodland walk at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire. This pendant has been individually crafted from precious metal clay (a material made from recycled fine silver particles, binder, and water). When fired, the binder burns away, leaving solid fine silver. It has been carefully finished using traditional silversmithing techniques of filing, sanding, soldering, and polishing. This tactile silver necklace has been polished to a high shine, highlighting the delicate leaf veins and contours, with a soft satin finish on the reverse. It would make a special gift for anyone who loves woodlands and the great outdoors. The Oak is associated with strength, protection, and longevity. MATERIALS & MEASUREMENTS - Recycled fine silver leaf pendant with a recycled sterling silver ring bail: 14mm wide x 26mm long (31mm long including the ring bail). - Recycled sterling silver belcher chain: 45cm / 18 inches in length. POSTAGE & PACKAGING This necklace will be carefully tissue-wrapped and presented in a recyclable gift box (with reusable insert). It will be shipped within 3 days of order via Royal Mail Tracked 24 postal service. GIFTING If your purchase is a gift and you would like me to include a handwritten note to the recipient, please write your message in the 'Note to Seller' box at the checkout. There is no additional charge. A NOTE ABOUT HALLMARKING Under UK law, all silver items weighing over 7.78g must be hallmarked by one of the four UK assay offices. As this necklace falls under this weight, it is exempt and does not bear a hallmark. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message using the 'Contact' button at the top of my shop page and I would be happy to help.

Our beautiful British woodlands. I love the grounding, peaceful feeling of being near trees, and the intricate textures of their leaves and seeds. This inspires me to create tactile, wearable replicas in silver.
What buyers say about Rachel Zilpha Jewellery
Absolutely exquisite! As a maker I work with my hands and so sadly I'm unable to wear the beautiful bespoke ring my husband had made for me for our handfasting. For some time I've been looking for a piece, a 'taken token', that I can wear that is similarly imbued with meaning representing the bond between us and our families, mine from the UK, his from NZ. This little silver fern is absolutely perfect! The delicacy of the leaf detail is expertly offset by the contemporary pendant design and is finished beautifully. Rachel kindly switched out the chain for a longer trace style while ensuring the overall necklace remained balanced, the clasp staying at the back, and so it sits exactly where I want. I'm thrilled with my new jewellery and will definitely be buying more pieces in the future!
