Silver Acorn and Oak Leaf Necklace
Silver Acorn and Oak Leaf Necklace
Couldn't load pickup availability
I made this recently in celebration of the new season! It is handcrafted from fine silver. I made the acorn with a flat back so that it would sit nicely on the wearer and I replicated the natural curves and shape. The acorn is 22m in length and 15mm at its widest point. The oak leaf is 31mm in length and 18mm at its widest point. It really makes quite a statement when being worn!
The chain on display is a 45cm Belcher Chain in sterling silver but if you prefer a different length or style, do let me know.
All my jewellery comes to you packaged in gift boxes with a polishing cloth. This is to ensure that it is kept in pristine condition. If you are buying this as a gift I also can provide a gift bag with ribbons. Just let me know in the comments section on the order form if you want me to include this.

How to take care of your Jewellery
Each piece of jewellery is special and a few simple steps will ensure that it stays in pristine condition.
Fine Silver is made of 99.9% silver and it is less prone to tarnish. Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver and can tarnish over time but is easily polished to a shiny finish again.
Preventative care
Wear your jewellery!
You can avoid tarnish by wearing your jewellery often. The oils in your skin will “clean” the silver and keep it looking shiny.
Avoid exposure
Contact with household chemicals will cause corrosion and tarnish — so it’s a good idea to remove silver jewellery when doing household chores. Direct sunlight also causes silver to tarnish, so be sure to take off your silver jewellery before you go swimming and sunbathing.
When dressing, add your jewellery as a final touch
Lotions, cosmetics, hair spray and hair products, and perfumes are also “enemies” of silver and will accelerate tarnishing. There’s a reason generations of women have been getting dressed with jewellery last, as a finishing touch!
Storage
As exposure to air tarnishes it, storing silver in the gift box with anti-tarnish strips is a great preventative measure. to minimise tarnish.
Polishing
Simply polishing your silver works well when the tarnishing is not too severe. Each piece of jewellery comes with a small polishing cloth.
