Autumn colors go metallic, with Rings & Things' plated leaf/cone pendants

Autumn leaves can be a great organic design inspiration, with their hues of gold, copper, and…silver? Rings & Things introduces real leaves-and pinecones-chemically transformed into shiny fashion pendants.

To create one of these pendants, a genuine leaf or tiny cone is dried, treated, and painted with copper. Once electroplated, a loop for hanging is added. The resulting 2- to 3-inch leaf/cone pendant is see-through and delicate-looking, yet surprisingly sturdy. The pine-cone pendants resemble exquisitely detailed charms.

This hot new look is available in silver, gold, or iridescent copper plate, to coordinate with a range of jewelry designs. The leaves used are taken from actual aspen, birch, oak, cottonwood, sugar-maple and pine trees, guaranteeing that each pendant is totally unique.

Craftspeople interested in electroplated leaf/cone pendants, a free "Birch Breeze" necklace project using them, and wholesale-priced beads and findings in general can call 1 (800) 366-2156 to receive Rings & Things' wholesale catalog by mail. The entire catalog is also online at http://www.rings-things.com.
