Description
A highly detailed intricate silver leaf necklace moulded from a real leaf. Handmade in Market Bosworth. The approximate dimension of this pendant is 2cm wide and 2.5cm long. The leaf necklace is a graceful and nature-inspired piece of jewelry that beautifully captures the elegance of a single leaf. The pendant, shaped like a delicate leaf, is intricately detailed with fine veins and natural curves, mimicking the organic structure of a real leaf. The pendant is crafted from silver clay which, when finished, becomes solid pure silver. The leaf is suspended from a slender, elegant chain that complements the pendant's simplicity and allows it to sit gracefully on the collarbone. This necklace is versatile and can be worn with both casual and formal attire, adding a touch of nature’s beauty to any outfit. The leaf necklace is perfect for those who appreciate the symbolic meanings of growth, renewal, and connection to the natural world, making it a thoughtful gift or a lovely addition to your jewellery collection. This jewellery is designed and hand-crafted by Louise in her Market Bosworth Studio. As the jewellery is hand-crafted there may be tiny variances from the image shown.

Maker
I design, make and sell my own unique handmade silver jewellery and also teach how to make silver jewellery. I began my journey into silver metal clay whilst running a pottery studio and soon became hooked! The magic of turning a piece of clay into a solid piece of Hallmark Standard Silver never fails to amaze me and I love sharing this with my students and helping them create a lovely piece of jewellery that they can wear proudly home makes my job the best. I have worked hard to develop my skills and I strive to work to the highest standard. I have over twelve years experience and I: - am a senior metal clay instructor - came third in an international competition held in Tokyo in 2024 - had one of my jewellery pieces displayed in an exhibition in Tokyo in 2023 - hold a higher diploma in silver clay - teach diploma levels 1 & 2 I mainly teach from my studio in Market Bosworth in Leicestershire. I also teach, and have taught, at various studios around the country including Chatsworth House, London, Nottingham, Northampton, Stratford, Birmingham, Melton Mowbray. My classes are relaxed and informative, aiming to give all attendees an incredible experience as well as beautiful jewellery to take home with them. Here’s a taste of what some class attendees have said about me: “Gifted teacher and guides you through the process with hints and tips for each person along the way and has many years of experience, which comes across” “She’s amazing” “Great host” I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can.

FAQs
It is of hallmark standard and if I am selling a piece that weighs over 7.98 grams I have to hallmark it. I have my own hallmark registered with the London Assay Office.
Yes, it is 99% pure solid silver after firing.
I use silver clay, which is pliable, so it can be shaped into many designs that you can create yourself or I can help you with ideas. When you have molded your design in clay, you fire your piece to burn off other substances in the clay to leave a residue of 99% pure silver. You then polish your piece to finish off the process to create an amazing piece of your own unique silver jewellery.
Absolutely. I take every opportunity to look after our special world. I use recyclable packaging and the silver clay itself is made up from recycled material. Components of old mobile phones and out of date hospital x-rays are just examples of material that are recycled into silver clay.
