These silver lichen branch earrings have been handmade from sterling silver with 24 kt gold foil applied to the lichen shapes using the ancient Korean technique called keum boo.   The organic silver hoop shapes have been marked to mimic tree bark and the silver has been darkened to enhance the texture and the beautiful gold.
 
These beautiful earrings are a stud fitting and would make a thoughtful gift for someone that enjoys woodland walks and spending time in nature.
 
Each pair of earrings is unique and you may not receive the exact earrings in the image although the approximate diameter and positioning of the lichen will be the same.  The diameter of the stud earrings is approximately 12 mm.
