Electroformed Genuine Leaves
(Available metal finishes: 24kt gold,
iridescent rose gold and sterling silver.)
Please note that I am a major distributor to designers and bead stores who have a discerning eye for quality. I have collaborated with the manufacturer to make these leaves more widely available to artisans who demand the best in their materials. Every leaf is hand selected by me personally and undergoes high quality inspection standards. The leaves are the "Premium- First Quality" of each production batch. I am the ONLY distributor that has access, hand selects and has first pick from the production batches. Only about 25-50% of the leaves I inspect are selected for my offerings. I will ONLY place my name on the very best quality. **It has come to my attention that there are "copies" of our electroformed leaves being distributed that do not hold up to the same quality standards as those we carry. Please remember that I was the FIRST designer to introduce these leaves through my articles for Australian Beading, BeadStyle, Beadwork, Stringing and Bead Unique magazines since 2006. I work directly with the manufacturer. BE AWARE shopping at shows, online and buy from a reputable source. As these leaves become more popular, as with any "commercial product", you will no doubt find them through other distribution channels. Note, that others offer different quality leaves. The adage of "you get what you pay for" is true. Invest on quality and your jewelry will reflect that to your customers.

Brown & Blue Iris Leaves (limited
selection at Bead Expo Portland)
Very limited production and always exclusive PREMIUM selection.
The brown and blue iris leaves range in color from batch to batch. The
gorgeous colors blend well with ceramic raku beads. Sometimes
they result in more brown iris, sometimes they are more blue iris and other times they are
a mixture of both. These colors results from a production oddity while creating the
"black" leaves, therefore are more difficult to stock.
Again, I am the EXCLUSIVE distributor of the "Premium- First Quality"
leaves in this finish as well. Due to their rare occurrence in
production, these leaves will be priced slightly higher than the standard
finishes but they are worth every penny.
Available ONLY at select shows.
