Michelle Smith — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:17:26 +0000

Dreaming of a warm Spring days? Green leaves?

Then, take a look at this lovely piece of whimsical jewelry crafted of vintage brass. It features a leaf overlay and it’s strung on a 30 inch long vintage brass chain. The Woodland Lovers pendant is item #n23 and it retails for $60 at the Anna Vintage Jewelry online shop.

Woodland Lovers – Pendant
These earrings remind me of fossilized ferns – exquisite greenery captured for all eternity in stone. Well, these ferned earrings are not quite that old, but they are made from vintage brass. They are strung on gold-filled wire and topped off with a copper love knot. Pretty. The Ferns Unroll Their Woolly coils earrings are 3.5 inches long, they are item #e24, and they retail for $55 at the Anna Vintage Jewelry shop.
