This necklace is crafted with love in my Dorset studio using recycled sterling silver with a 9ct gold vermeil. Each piece proudly bearing full British hallmarks. It’s elegantly suspended on an 18-inch belcher chain. In Celtic folklore, the hazel tree is steeped in symbolism, often associated with wisdom and knowledge. This connection is echoed in the Gaelic language, where the word for nut, “Cno,” bears resemblance to the word for wisdom, “Cnocach.” 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 silver and rose gold vermeil finishes. Complete the look with matching leaf earrings, available in my shop
