I made these earrings by impressing the texture of real leaves onto copper sheet, cutting and forming the sheet into petals, and giving them a patina to make the leafy texture stand out. The copper is accented by nephrite jade stones (one of the two types of true jade). The ear wires are copper-color anodized niobium. Niobium is one of the absolute best metals for people with metal sensitivities. These earrings measure 2 inches (5cm) in length from the tops of the ear wires.
