This hand-fabricated sterling silver clothing pin is extremely versatile-- it could add a flash of fabulous fancy to a dress shawl for an evening out, yet won't look out of place on a warm cap at the farmer's market!

The shots with the original leaf and twig are fun-- you can see how details like the surface texture of the twig have been incorporated, and the look of the hard core and softer surface of the original twig has even been reproduced in silver! An actual oak leaf from the forest around us was used as inspiration, and will be included with the final piece!

The twig passes through two soldered arches on the back of the leaf to hold it in place and will work on virtually any knit or crocheted garment (it may be a little loose if used on veeery thin garments). We tried it on hats, scarves, and even as a buttonhole decoration on a coat!

This piece is solid 0.925 sterling silver. The leaf measures 9.5 cm long and about 4 cm at its widest point. The twig/pin is 10.2 cm long. This piece is one of a kind!
