This listing is for one sterling oak leaf pendant - and is the first part payment
***Reserved for H***
Made from certified eco silver 0.8mm sheet, run through my mill with a real leaf on either side, then pierced using your business' oak leaf logo.
Curved and shaped the leaf to give movement, this is now ready to be sent to the platers to be covered in 9 or 18 carat gold on one side - I plan to have them plate the concave side, leaving the convex silver to make it reversible. I will install the jumpring bail (which has the hall mark) once it's back from plating.
6cm in length curved to 5.5cm x 3.5cm, 7.2g without the bail
The cost for plating is the same for 9 or 18carat - please make your choice at checkout. Second payment will be for the cost of the plating, your share of postage there and back and delivery to you.
Custom order for H - Oak leaf pendant - part 1
Sterling Silver will eventually oxidise or tarnish. It's a natural process that can be slowed down by regular wear and by keeping unworn items away from the atmosphere. If you leave your jewellery out on display, this oxidisation will be faster. You can polish up your items, with a soft cloth, some silver polish, or a buffing cloth such as Town Talk, which is readily available from any high street jewellers in the UK
Fine silver is 99.9% silver, and because of this the tarnish rate is much, much slower. Again, a buff should do the job for polishing it back up. If I have patinated your silver already, be gentle when buffing!
Each piece should stand up to regular wear, but , as with all jewellery, please remove it before washing, using chemicals or applying perfume etc
Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish
The sterling silver used in these items was sold to me by my bullion dealer ass certified recycled.
he gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. You can see examples of this on my Facebook page.
I select the stones that I think go together best for each project, hence my comments that each item is individual.
