Curling around holes leaf necklace
Regular price £42.00
Unit price per
Cute electroformed leaf that was caught just as it started to curl protectively around itself; a necklace for someone who deserves some special care and attention.
This leaf has four tiny little (1mm) holes, one almost in the middle at the top, another mid-bottom, and the other two next to each other on the right. I have a thing for the leaves with little holes in them... they're so unique, and you can't help but wonder what little creature created them!
It can be worn either way around as the back it also really pretty, with its ridges catching the light. This is one of those leaf necklaces, that you can tell immediately, has an actual leaf inside it!
The sterling silver chain for this pendant, has rings at both 22 and 26 inches, so can be worn at either 'Matinee' or 'Opera' length - making it adjustable and suitable for loads of outfit choices!
- Leaf - 3.4cm long and 2cm across at longest points, 1mm thick
- Chain - 22/26 inch choice with delicate sterling silver 1.5mm loose trace chain (when worn at 22 inches, the remaining chain falls beautifully between your shoulder blades)
- Clasp - 9mm sterling silver lobster trigger clasp for easy fastening

Chain lengths and bespoke bangle and ring sizes
You are welcome to request a specific length of necklace chain, and/or an exact ring size. There is no extra charge for this service, but please do ensure you specify your requirements within the comments when placing your order. Alternatively, if you have any queries or wish to amend an order you have already made, please email me on dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk
Necklace, bracelet, bangle or anklet lengths:
Simply take a tape measure and loop around your neck, wrist or anklet (you may need someone to help), or even better use a necklace, bracelet or anklet that is of the length you would like and measure it from end to end (including catches and clasps)
For further help, please check out my handy guide to necklace lengths!
Ring sizes:
If you are unsure of your size, I would strongly recommend purchasing a ring sizer like this one (£1.20). Please note that this is for illustration purposes only; I have no affiliation with Amazon or this seller and you can obviously choose to buy these from other providers).
Alternatively this guide will help you find the correct measurement for the finger you wish to wear the ring on. Please double check before sending your order and bear in mind that your knuckle which the ring needs to move over, may be bigger than the base of your finger where it will sit.
Bespoke requests
I have presented the standard options for variation – such as size variations, satin or high shine finish - and you may select these to suit your preferences when placing your order.
If you love a design, but would like another finish not listed, such as the item in gold, gold plate, two different metals, or with the extra touch of a stone (or stones) added, please contact me direct, by emailing your contact phone number to dawn@foundbydawn.co.uk.
It is best for me to talk to you about what you would like, and I can provide you with a bespoke quotation, with no obligation.

*On occasion more specific items like headpins and chain has to be sourced from other suppliers.

Hallmarking
Legally in the UK, any silver piece of silver jewellery weighing more than 7.78g, must be hallmarked in order to be sold as silver. Many of my creations weigh less than this, but I sometimes choose to get them hallmarked anyway (see individually listings).
Jewellers who use hallmarks, are reassuring you of the quality of precious metal they use, ensuring your chosen piece stays special long into the future.
You can learn more about what the hallmarks mean and why they are important in this pdf, or watch the video below.
