You can find more silver treasures in my shop! Click here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SeasideSilverJewels Or follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SeasideSilverJewels/ The Leaves of Lorien, a symbol of the Woodland Elves. The leaf brooches were given by Galadriel to the members of the Fellowship of the Ring at the end of their stay at Lothlórien. Gift Wrapping: All items are sent gift wrapped as pictured. Reusable burlap drawstring sack colors may vary depending on stock. Please message me if you have a preference. SIZE AND DETAIL: It's about 7/8" long and 1/2" wide. Each pendant contains approximately 3.3 grams of fine silver. (I handcraft each piece so weight may vary slightly.) All my materials are recycled and/or natural. HOW IT"S MADE: I made this fine silver pendant using Art Clay Silver metal clay. (999 and 950) After I shape the piece, I fire it in my jewelry kiln for 2 hours at 1650 degrees. I give it a bath in patina, hammer and polish it to a high shine. Most of my jewelry is made to order but I usually craft them within a month or so of sale. RECYCLED SHIPPING!!! I am so happy to offer 100% RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE shipping material!! I have looked the world over for the most sustainable shipping supplies and I've finally found the perfect combo. From envelope to your gift box or bag. I even up-cycle my shredded scrap paper as padding! I will use my packing tape until it runs out, so not to waste, but then its paper tape as well. Love your earth!! CARE INSTRUCTIONS: It's so easy! Fine silver doesn't tarnish easily, in fact I have a couple of pieces I haven't polished in a year or so. Just get a silver polishing cloth, when you notice a little change in the silver brilliance, just rub it with the cloth a few times! It will not disappoint. (I will include a polishing cloth if you by two pieces but I don't have them for sale because I don't make them.) Please message me for your free cloth as I don't want to send an unwanted cloth. :) NECKLACE INFO AND OPTIONS: I offer a free adjustable (to 26") 1.5 mm cord necklace. You can choose from a waxed linen cord (water resistant, durable and plant based), genuine red leather cord, or pendant only. Both cord types are adjustable. In addition, I also offer sterling silver chain in 18". Please message me if you require a longer chain.
