The Enchanted Forest
All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction,
which thou canst not see.
~ Alexander Pope
If you have ever seen
Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairies book, then you know what I mean when I
tell you this collection is my version of that book. All of these designs are real leaves and twigs that have been
captured in solid silver.
The process takes approximately two weeks for each piece, during which
time numerous layers of silver are applied.
Once the layers are thick enough, it is fired in a kiln, where the leaf and twig
burn away, leaving behind a beautifully detailed silver fossil.

favorite leaf into a unique piece of jewelry, please see "Custom Orders"
