🌱 Ginkgo Biloba 🌱 Pendant chiseled in Sterling Silver with a Rubellite Tourmaline

Jewel made in collaboration with my Father Mario Zarate @mario_zarate_piedras

Did you know that It is the last living species in the order Ginkgoales?

🍀 This sophisticated pendant showcases a hand-carved ginkgo leaf in sterling silver, accented by a striking rubellite tourmaline.

Measuring 2.5 inches in height and width, the design captures the enduring inspiration of the ginkgo leaf.

It is suspended from a 26-inch + 2 inch sterling silver chain that features a carefully applied patina, enhancing its depth and character.

The subtle darkening of the patina accentuates the intricate details, offering a refined and timeless accessory.

📌 bout the Chain:

Sterling Silver Chains – 26” + 2” Extension

Each of these chains is crafted in sterling silver and measures 26 inches, with an extra 2 inch to adjust the length as needed.

They are available in two finishes:
— Bright silver, with its natural, luminous tone.
— Oxidized silver, with a dark, almost black surface achieved through a patina process.

This patina is not a paint. It’s a natural reaction that changes the color of the silver itself. 

That means it won’t rub off, stain your skin, or mark your clothes. The color is stable, long-lasting, and reveals a deeper, more organic side of the metal.

These chains are designed to pair beautifully with my handmade pendants, and are included with many of the pieces from my collections. 

Choose the finish that matches your mood or complements the stone—both are genuine silver, each with its own quiet strength.

📸 About the Photos

All the photos on this website are taken by me, most often using natural light. 

I aim to capture each piece as truthfully as possible, showing the beauty and uniqueness of the materials I work with.

Gemstones, being natural, may appear slightly different depending on how the light touches them—the angle, the intensity, even the background. For this reason, I take several photos of each piece, from different angles, with various lighting and settings. 

This helps reveal the true color and character of each gemstone and the silver.

Please keep in mind that slight variations in tone may occur between the photos and what you receive. But rest assured—every stone is genuine and natural, and I do my best to show it just as it is.
