Сineraria Leaves with tiny black tourmalite earrings

Short description: To make these earrings, I covered real cineraria leaves with copper (electroplating). The electroformed leaves are finished with a small bead of black tourmaline on one earring. It matches well in color, size and shape.
Earrings are very unusual and will surely attract attention.
