Here's my basil necklace!
I made a mold from a cinnamon basil leaf last fall, and then had it cast in silver. This was my first leaf charm in a line of jewelry. My store is called Hightower Botanicals and WELCOME! I'm on Etsy, check out the store at:

Or, you can go to Etsy and search for "Hightower Botanicals" under Sellers.
I enjoy working with metal, plants; particularly herbs, and love herbal teas and medicinal uses of herbs. I've been reading about herbal folklore and bring up strange and cool traditions in some of the Etsy descriptions of my jewelry.
The Ivy Necklace and Bracelet-
Here is a fun tour of a backyard in New Jersey...
This English Ivy vine was the inspiration for my Ivy charms! I made a mold of an Ivy leaf from this very plant. It was a little baby leaf, as you can see in the first photo. Resting on a mama leaf.
And here's my dog Gunny. He wasn't too interested in the Ivy vine.
The Maple Seed (whole and half) Necklaces-
The veins really transferred over in metal! 
I made molds from Maple seeds in this yard, so you could say that these charms capture the tree in time.
