Gingko Leaf Brooch

This hand-cut copper brooch captures the quiet elegance of a ginkgo leaf, a symbol of resilience and longevity. The rich colors come from carefully applied patina, which brings out iridescent purples, golds, and reds—each piece develops its own organic finish during the process. The hand carved surface texture mimics the delicate fan-like veining of real ginkgo leaves, making it a timeless accessory for nature lovers and slow fashion collectors alike.

Photographed on natural handmade paper to complement the earthy tones and texture of the piece.
