Nature Inspired Jewellery

I love jewellery that has a touch of nature about it, whether its a hand carved lions head pendant, stunning wildlife charm bracelet or a ivy twisted necklace. I think it really captures a glimmer of nature in a person and recently I stumbled upon an absolute gem.

The Blowing in the Wind jewellery collection. Made from real leaves, whether its aspen, lacey oak or birch coated in copper, silver or gold. The leaves are hand picked and put in acid to reveal just the woody veins and then bathed in copper. The final step is to dip the leaf into either 24k gold, sterling silver or iridescent copper leaving a remarkable piece of jewellery.

I discovered these in the Romans Baths shop and chose a stunning iridescent copper oak leaf necklace, a truly remarkable piece of jewellery which really captures the essence of nature.
