In the 1970s, jewelry makers began taking real leaves and other botanical specimens and electroplating them in gold, a process that captures every crease and vein exactly as it grew instead of casting a generic leaf shape from a mold. The result here is dramatic: deeply ruffled, fan shaped edges radiating out from the center vein, the kind of natural detail no die stamp can fake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold dipping has held up well over the decades, and because no two leaves grow alike, this piece is genuinely one of a kind. It comes with an attached bail, ready to hang from a chain or cord of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estate condition consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Real gold dipped genuine kale leaf, not a cast reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Circa 1970s natural specimen jewelry movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Deeply ruffled, fan shaped leaf silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Approx. 2.25 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding: Attached bail for chain or cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: Every vein and edge is the actual leaf's natural pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRarity: One of a kind due to natural material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Vintage gold dipped finish with decades of age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear: Lightweight, comfortable pendant wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHallmarks: No maker's mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GOTTROCKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51439009431858,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ladygottrocks.com\/products\/vintage-1970s-genuine-gold-dipped-kale-leaf-pendant-real-botanical-specimen-this-leaf-actually-grew","provider":"GOTTROCKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
