These leaves capture the unique fan shape and ripply notches of the gingko leaf.

Ginkgo biloba is the oldest living tree species. Known as “living fossils,” the species has survived relatively unchanged for over 200 million years. Fossils in the genus have been dated back to the middle Jurassic— yep, they shared the earth with dinosaurs! Some trees live over 1,200 years and have survived some extreme events— perhaps most notably the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Due to their remarkable tenacity, ginkgo trees have come to represent strength, longevity, and endurance.

Each leaf measures 3.5-4.0 cm tall and approximately 3.5 cm wide. Because they are entirely hand-fabricated from 0.925 sterling silver, each leaf is unique— their variation is part of their charm!

Necklaces will come on an 18 inch cord; please let us know if you would prefer a different length!
