Even Prettier Than Expected
I really did not expect it to be such a nice piece of art. It is very comfortable. It came in a batik package that is another piece of art. It is kind of exciting tracking its arrival from another country (some would call it deferred gratification. The thank you note from the artist also included how to say some phrases in her language. The only suggestion I have is I wish it included how to take care of the robe so I don't have to look it up.
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.
