Ginkgo Pendant Necklace
£110.00
Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgo, also spelled gingko, or as the maidenhair tree, is the only living species in the division Ginkgophyta, all others being extinct. It is found in fossils dating back 270 million years.
This silver ginkgo leaf drop pendant is softly textured on its undulating form and hangs from a fine Spiga chain
I designed this piece for RBG Kew in 1999 as part of a larger range that sold at Kew Garden for many years.
Originally the relief lines on this pendant was engraved by master engraver George Lukes. George was regarded as one of the finest engravers of his generation and I had the honour of meeting and working with him on several of my designs in the 80's and 90's.
Leaf 23mm x 25mm
Chain - 24"
