Ginkgo Leaf Earrings with Black Spinel

Inspired by the graceful fan-shaped leaves of the ancient ginkgo tree, these handcrafted earrings carry both elegance and symbolism. Each pair is made from recycled sterling silver, with delicate textures that echo the veins of real ginkgo leaves.

At the top, a 4mm black spinel gemstone is grain-set into a hammered silver dome, adding a dark sparkle that contrasts beautifully with the organic silver leaves. Black spinel is believed to be a grounding and protective stone, making these earrings not only a timeless accessory but also a meaningful talisman.
