Just finished a new leaf pendant. This is a hornbeam leaf, known for it’s very hard wood and its strength.

It’s a double sided necklace, on one side it’s summer colours, light blues and oranges with brilliant gold and touches of iridescent pink.

On the other side its autumn colours with browns, rusts, copper and gold with dark blue around the edges. Pick a side to suit your mood, your look or the season.

About Hornbeam: The Romans used hornbeam to make their chariots because of the strength of the wood and it’s sometimes used for longbows. It’s name comes from two Old English words, horn meaning hard and beam meaning tree. Hornbeam is associated with luck, strength and longevity.
