The center ridge and sharply pointed ends add a little tartness to these otherwise soft earrings, which is fitting for the tree that they're based on. The bold, almost playful shape is perfect to add some edge to a sedate suit, or to compliment a bright outfit.
Carved by hand with a gouge and chisel in North American basswood, the earrings are extremely lightweight, and each leaf is entirely unique. The hand-rubbed finish is non-toxic.
About the Pin Cherry:
The pin cherry tree, named for its tiny, sour fruits (only about 1/2" in diameter!) is found all across Ontario, except for the far north. Sun-loving and small-statured, you have likely noticed this tree blooming in springtime, when it's covered in clusters of white blossoms.
