Nature - Only Better real leaf jewelry is Now Available at I.G.N.Y.

When can nature be improved upon? It is when we can take something directly from nature and create a golden masterpiece with it. That is exactly what I.G.N.Y. Design does with their Nature leaf jewelry collection. The designs that only nature can produce are brought to the customer covered in gold, silver or copper with outstanding finish and beauty.

The process that brings the beauty of nature directly into your home as wearable art is fascinating. Many wonder if there is truly a real leaf within these beautiful and fragile-looking pieces of jewelry, and the answer is absolutely yes. Each unique piece contains a real leaf. A chemical treatment is applied that allows the skeletal structure of the leaf to be brought forward while letting go of the outer covering. Then, an electroplating process is done that coats the entire structure with a sturdy, copper metal shell. In this process, the delicacy of the leaf's intriguing structure is forever captured and ready to be crafted into a precious piece of jewelry.

Even though they look delicate, the process described above is accomplished over the course of more than 12 hours. It "grows" the copper shell slowly, hardening as it continues the process until you have a strong and durable structure that looks fragile but is actually very hard to damage or break. Once this process is complete, the leaves are ready for electroplating with the finishing metal. I.G.N.Y. Design uses 24 karat gold, or fine silver, or iridescent copper - any of which make for a long lasting and gorgeous finish.

Depending on size and shape, the leaves are made into pendants or earrings. The connectors used to join the leaves to their pendant slides or earring wires are high quality pieces that are equally strong and will retain their beautiful finish just like the leaves they hold. I.G.N.Y Design leaves nothing to chance in the conception, execution or finishing of their Nature Leaf Jewelry collection so you have a quality showpiece that you will treasure for years to come.

Oak leaves, aspen leaves, cottonwood, birch, evergreen, sugar maple, Japanese maple, rose - all of these beautiful, unique and different shaped leaves are used in the making of I.G.N.Y. Design's Nature Leaf Jewelry collection. The long, slender evergreen leaf makes for a wonderful presentation that elongates and draws the eye downward to enhance your best features. The wildly unique shapes of oak leaves play up a funky and playful look while still remaining delicate. The diamond shape of the birch leaf is classic, and the compelling heart shape of the cottonwood leaf is sweet and full.

No matter which precious metal is chosen to finish the look of these natural leaves - 24 karat gold, fine silver, or the fabulously unique iridescent copper, you really can't go wrong. In fact, being a little indulgent and having a few pieces in each finish will allow you choices that will work every day.
