Lu's Boutique on Etsy

I came across this Etsy page, Lu's Boutique, and I am amazed.  These necklaces are so gorgeous for fall and made from real leaves, which is crazy...  

“Each leaf is handpicked and soaked in a solution that dissolves the meaty parts of the leaf, leaving only the veins and edges. Afterwards, the leaf is coated with a copper-based paint (in order to conduct electricity) and dipped in 24k gold, silver, or copper. With the right voltage, the metal binds to the leaf – creating a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry!”
