Lovely Autumnal Copper Plated real 'Twisted' IVY ( Hedera ) leaf necklace. This elegant large leaf is 8 cm long and 3.5 cm wide. It has a lovely undulating, striking tear shape with strong definition around the edge. The plating is strong but fine revealing all the veins and nuances of the leaf inside. The piece has been hand coloured in golds and blue/silver and it has been lacquered so it will not lose its colour. The copper chain is strong and very suited the style of this piece. It is 78 cm. in total length and the drop is 45.5 cm. A real statement piece! As each piece of jewellery contains a real leaf, it is unique. 

It was made by my father John Griffin who was a craftsman electroplater. It comes with a card describing the process used to create this piece, mounted on black card and the Latin name. A gorgeous everlasting gift. 

In the Celtic Tree Alphabet the Ivy is represented by the letter G for Gort. The Ivy symbolises Self-reflection, Patience, Lasting Deep Commitments, Fidelity, Relationships and Marriage, thus it is very suitable for Handfasting Ceremonies.
