Lemon Verbena Leaf Earrings in Fine Silver Dark Earring design © 2013 AmyThese Earrings were created using real Lemon Verbena leaves. Thin layers of Metal Clay paste were painted onto each leaf until there was a substantial thickness. They were then fired in a kiln where the leaves completely burn away leaving their lasting impressions in solid . 999 Fine Silver. A patina is added to highlight the veins, before finally being attached to Sterling Silver ear wires. Approximate earring size: 2 1 16in (5. 24cm) long x 1 2in
