Silver birch leaf earrings

In Celtic and Druid folklore, the birch tree holds deep significance. Revered as a symbol of new beginnings and purification, it’s believed to possess protective qualities against malevolent spirits, earning it the title of the ‘Lady of the Woods.

These earrings are crafted with love in my Dorset studio using recycled sterling silver, each piece proudly bearing full British hallmarks. Each leaf is approximately 2.5cm long.

To create these unique pieces, I draw inspiration from nature, collecting birch leaves to serve as templates. Each leaf is delicately traced onto a sheet of sterling silver, then hand-sawn out. Since each leaf can only be used once, every necklace becomes a singular one of a kind. I imbue the silver with texture through gentle hammering or engraving. A central vein is then soldered down the middle. The back of each piece of jewellery bears a stamp denoting the species of tree from which the leaf originated. Due to their handmade nature, slight variations from the product photos are to be expected.

For those seeking a touch of luxury, this necklace is also available in rose and yellow gold vermeil finishes. Complete the look with matching leaf necklace, available in my shop
