Falling leaves...

An old tradition is the practice of catching a falling leaf in Autumn! Many believe if you catch a leaf falling in mid-air, it will grant you luck and magic! Some also take the opportunity to make a wish. So wish upon a falling star.. AND a falling leaf!

This piece which is entirely handmade out of sterling and fine silver, is a homage to catching falling leaves in fall. It features an amazingly beautiful dendritic agate whose dendrites are the colors of Autumn in stone; with its own little bits of "leaf litter" in various golden hues. The back offers a large cut-out which allows it to glow with the season. Below, two tiny Oak leaves cast from the real thing! Plus the tinest of teeny baby acorns so you can carry with you all of the hope and strength an acorn symbolizes.

Measuring approximately 2.50" x 1.20" at widest and longest points including bail. Strung on a 18" chain as shown above which has been blackened to match. The entire piece weighs approximately .65 ounces with chain and the pendant itself is delightfully lightweight!

 As always, all stones are genuine and valuable and are ethically sourced and cut.

PLEASE NOTE! This stone also has another really neat feature.. a healed fracture!! You can see this line which runs from top right to bottom left if you look closely above. This means that at some point while still in the Earth, this stone was broken (likely by earthquake or other deep tectonic event) and then it HEALED ITSELF! Additional minerals filled the hairline crack, resealing and healing the stone to a solid form. This further makes this piece a testament to strength and perseverance.
