My grandparents recently moved to a different state, to be near my aunt. I have a lot of memories of collecting oak leaves and acorns at my grandparents' lovely forest home, so I bought this necklace as a housewarming gift for my grandmother.
The Etsy seller ArtisanHandcrafted makes these necklaces from real leaves by "electroplaning" them in metal. (Don't ask me what that means!) The necklace arrived in a pretty little box, and looks even more beautiful in person than it does in the photo. I told the seller about why I was buying the necklace, and she sent me the sweetest reply. That's the fun part about shopping on Etsy: the personal connections between artists and customers. It makes every purchase seem extra special.
Here are some more necklaces from her shop; I especially like the Japanese maple leaf.
This sort of thing is why G'ma loves you.
