The Oak Leaf & Acorn Ornaments Each element is selected first and foremost for its overall perfection and visual appeal. It is then carefully dried prior to a hand filigree process that exposes each vein and the individual structure of the piece.

A copper solution is then applied by hand, followed by a dip into molten copper. To finish, each element is plated in precious metal.

This process takes about 7 hours from harvest to it’s completion. Limited number available
