How this was made:
These beautiful oak leaf pendants were made from moulds that were filled with resin that was mixed with translucent green dye and filed with iridescent paper flakes that shimmer different colours in different lights. A jump ring and silver bail were attached to the leaf stems, making them both elegant and intriguing pieces of jewellery! After the resin had cured, I removed the leaves from their moulds, shaded it with acrylic paints, and then attached it to an adjustable cord for fastening around the neck.
Measurements:
Large leaf pendant: Entire pendant length (including bail tube): 7.8cm Width (at widest point): 4cm
Small leaf pendant: Entire pendant length (including bail tube): 5.5cm Width (at widest point): 2cm
Attached adjustable cord necklace length (for both): 22cm on shortest setting and 25cm at longest setting.
Extra information:
Please note: This listing is for ONE oak leaf pendant - before adding it to your basket please select whether you want the large leaf or the small leaf for your necklace. Thank you! :)
Green Opal Resin Oak Leaf Necklaces (Large or Small)
Any finished sculpture or item of jewellery of mine that you receive, should be relatively strong, but not indestructible. As such, adequate care should be taken to ensure that the piece is out of reach of pets, children, and the possibility of being dropped, as you would with any other fragile ornament in the home. That being said, it will be certainly be strong enough for moderate handling as you examine it and admire its unique features! :)
Will I have to pay extra for shipping/postage?
Postage is free for anyone in the UK - unfortunately those outside the UK must pay extra for postage, as it can be too expensive for me to cover just in the price of the item alone.
How many creations can I recieve from you in one go?
In one parcel, there will be sent a maximum of two to three creations, depending on their size. If you feel like going on a larger shopping spree (and I would not mind if you did!) expect to recieve two or three at a time, in different parcels that may be delivered on different days, depending on whether the creations you have ordered differ in the time they need to be prepared before posting (for instance, if one of your purchases includes a made-to-order item). Sending a couple of creations at a time in smaller packages is to keep postage costs down on my end, as I do not charge extra for postage, and one large parcel costs far more to send than a fewer smaller ones.
How long will my order take to get to me?
If you live in the UK (where I am based) you can expect your parcel to arrive within one to two weeks once I have posted it off (which may take up to a week for me to prepare beforehand if you have selected any extra additions from the drop-down menu). If you live in the US, your parcel will likely take two to three weeks to arrive after I have sent it out. It is important that these shipping times are taken into account if the item is needed before a certain deadline (e.g as a birthday present) as well as if you have purchased a made-to-order item.
What is the difference between waiting for a made-to-order item and waiting for a pre-made item?
If the item you have ordered is classed as "made-to-order", that could add a maximum of an extra week on to the time it will take to reach you, from the moment of purchase (due to the time it will take me to hand-craft your purchase from scratch). Don't worry though - if the item you want is made-to-order, it will say in big letters at the top of the item's description. If your item does not say anything about it being made-to-order in the description, then you can assume that it is a pre-made creation, and therefore will be ready to be posted to you in a week or less.
