A moodier, more dramatic take on the classic ginkgo design — these earrings are hand-cut, shaped, and textured from solid copper, then finished with a deep, glossy patina that shifts beautifully in the light.
Each leaf is individually sculpted in my upstate, NY studio, giving every pair natural variation in texture and form. The rich, dark finish highlights the veins of the ginkgo leaf, creating an earthy yet elegant look.
Finished with elongated sterling-silver ear wires for a modern silhouette and ultra-comfortable wear.
These earrings are bold, botanical, and one of a kind.
Leaf width: ~1–1.25 inches
Drop length: ~1.5 inches (varies slightly due to handmade nature)
I make each piece by hand using traditional, eco-friendly practices in my upstate New York studio from solid metals and natural materials.

Choosing Your Metal
I use unplated silver, copper and brass in my jewelry. Each metals has its own unique properties and beauty. I enjoy the natural patina that brass and copper develop, but please see my jewelry care page for more info on the metals I use.
