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.

Intricately detailed, beautifully finished
Lovely leaf motif, very detailed, eye-catching. The pair I received were more finely polished than those in the photo--absolutely no scratches visible. The polished surfaces are very lustrous. I like that there is a Left and Right earring rather than two earrings that are exactly the same. This is much more symmetrical and attractive when you wear them. A beautiful and meticulously crafted pair of earrings!
