Heart-shaped lily pad jewelry dish with real gold accents
Hearts are used to express love, faith, courage and the essence of emotional connection. These sweet periwinkle hearts are created from real nasturtium leaves, which I have slightly trimmed by hand into tiny hearts. I love nasturtium leaves for their intricate patterning, and they are the perfect choice for this design because the nasturtium plant returns to the garden year after year with humble beauty and dependable reliability.
These ceramic jewelry holders are a one-of-a-kind pieces made completely by hand, with leaf imprints unique to each dish. The beautiful leaf textures are hand painted and the dish is dotted with real 22kt gold also applied by hand. I create every piece individually in my California studio.
The ceramic dish is kiln fired 2200 degrees F for full vitrification and a beautiful glossy finish. Real gold is added by a special process for ceramics and the dish is fired a third time to bond the gold.
Measures approximately 5 inches across. Each dish is made individually by hand from real leaves - please allow organic variations in patterning and color.
