I own two pairs of these! I grow them too.
I liked these earrings so much and the price point was so reasonable that I bought a second pair on sale. I know that there is a real leaf encased in the plating, so if the first pair wears out I will have another one ready. I know exactly what leaf this artist chose to preserve: Dischidia ruscifolia, a vining relative of the Hoya family which is very popular among plant collectors. I do grow this plant along with many Hoyas. A hanging basket overflowing with this Dischidia's vines appears as thousands of tiny green hearts, and gives rise to the common name of the "thousand hearts vine." I own several pieces of jewelry from this artist and these earrings are of the same high quality construction as his other work.

A Tiny Garden Makes a Beautiful Necklace
I am so happy to have discovered this. It reminded me of a paperweight my grandma had many years ago. As a child,, it intrigued me to see little flowers trapped in resin. Emerson has crafted something even more beautiful by pairing the pendant with sterling silver and making a memory wearable for me! I love that Emerson continues to carry on in his father?s footsteps with this particular style. It?s also very special to me because my father was Mexican and knowing the origin of this wonderful piece of jewelry, only adds more to how special it is! Muchas gracias por tu arte?
