This necklace was handmade in the USA by talented jewelry artist Michael Michaud as part of his Silver Seasons collection. This necklace comes with our original jewelry store tags and store gift box, great for giving or storage for years to come. This fern leaf necklace also comes with an information card that states the following:

FERN

Ferns have been around since the dawn of time! They first appeared in fossil records that date back to the Devonian period 360 million years ago and have graced the planet ever since. They grow in many different habitats throughout the world and most popular during the Carboniferous Period (the Age of Ferns) being the dominant part of vegetation. Some ferns are used for food like fiddleheads, in art and for medicinal purposes. Not only do these unassuming environmentally-friendly plants stand the test of time, they remove pollutants from the air, remediate contaminated soils and serve as decorative highlights in any space they share.

A mix of green brass finish and green patina over bronze. Accented by gold freshwater pearls and faceted semi precious garnet stones. Handmade in the USA
