This could be the perfect gift for yourself or for a beloved person if you're looking for a nature inspired strength amulet. Infact, as I will explain better below, English Oak is a symbol of might and endurance. 

If you feel an inner deep connection with the Earth and Mother Nature, their seasons and gifts, then this is the ornament that you can keep with you all year long. The gemstone beads seem like tiny berries, fruit of our Earth. The leaf is a powerful symbol of the Nature that keep us alive producing oxygen for us to breath. 

This Earth tones necklace can be worn as an Autumn accessory, but its warm colors can stay with you for all the four seasons: just think about the embers in the fireplace or in the stove during Winter, or the precious honey in Spring, or the sunny soils in Summer. 
 
THE TREE: THE ENGLISH OAK
English Oak is a powerful symbol of might and endurance. Common feature in many mythologies, it’s associated with a wide range of deities such Zeus and Thor. Its Latin name 'robur' means “strength”. The Celts believed the Oak to be a tree of sacred knowledge. Today, the Oak is known to support more wildlife species than any other native tree.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The shape of each piece and the shades created by the flame on silver are slightly irregular since their handmade nature. 
 
THE TECHNIQUE
This earth tones leaf amulet is handmade by me with the metal smithing technique, working the metal by hand.
