Japanese Hop leaf with transparent enamel pearl_pendant 24k gold vermeil flower spacersSpectacular Japanese Hop leaf that I have enameled. I used a transparent grass gree, the same shade as the real leaf. I made this leaf by pasting recycled fine silver paste to the back side of the leaf. After firing, A pure silver leaf emerges. I used a slightly lighter green on the back side. Strung on an 18 inch sterling silver snake chain. I can change out the chain, if you wish. The pendant measures 60 mm x 52 mm, or 2 3 8 inches long.
