Hand-Carved Gingko Leaf and Prehnite Brooch

Please avoid exposing it to moisture or direct sunlight for extended periods.

If you have a history of allergies or concerns, consulting a doctor is recommended. ◆All dimensions are measured manually, please allow for slight variations. ------ About the Wood: The pieces are processed for normal use and wear. However, please refrain from intentionally bending or dropping them, as this can still cause damage. Wood grain and color are natural phenomena, and variations may occur due to screen and camera differences. About the Carving: Each piece is meticulously hand-carved and sanded by me using traditional tools. The traces of the carving knife are an intentional characteristic of this type of artwork; please appreciate these marks as an integral part of the piece.
