Graduated Leaf Necklace, Mixed Metal Sterling Silver, Copper & Brass, Handfabricated Botanical Jewelry
Three leaves, three metals, one quiet descent — this necklace mirrors its earring counterpart, cascading from smallest to largest as it falls. A sterling silver leaf catches the light first, closest to the collarbone, then gives way to copper, and finally rests on a brass leaf at its lowest point — each one hand-shaped and finished individually, so the eye moves through warmth and cool in a single unbroken line.
Suspended from an 18" sterling silver chain, the necklace carries the same considered, architectural sensibility as the earrings: polished enough for an evening out, grounded enough for daily wear. A study in scale and material, handfabricated from raw sheet metal — true to the craft, with nothing cast and nothing premade.
Handfabricated in Vermont.
The Process
Each piece begins as raw metal — silver, brass, gold — shaped slowly by hand, sawn into delicate botanical lines that echo late summer's last bloom and autumn's first crisp edge. Real leaves, ferns, and hydrangeas are pressed directly into the metal, leaving behind the exact impression of something that once grew wild. Gemstones catch the same seasonal hues — floral pinks, mossy greens, the deep amber of turning leaves — set one at a time, each piece entirely its own. Made to be worn close, lived in, and carried through every season that shaped it.
