Oak leaves are a symbol of wisdom, strength, and endurance. This wonderfully detailed oak leaf pin, is a large size pin that is lightweight, yet durable, made of solid (not plated) raw brass with a push back enclosure. I added a patina to enhance the antique feel and highlight the texture. Be sure to check out my oak leaf and acorn jewelry to match. Some pieces shown here in last images. ✦ C A R E - I N S T R U C T I O N S ✦ Each creation is lovingly hand crafted with meticulous attention to detail, aesthetic, and durability. Please remember to remove your jewelry before bathing/showering, swimming, doing rigorous physical activities, or working with harsh soaps, lotions or any chemicals. Sterling silver and brass are metals that will tarnish and react to their environment. Proper storage can help prevent this. Keeping your jewelry in an airtight container is best, as the air and humidity can speed up tarnish. Wearing your pieces as much as possible will help keep them tarnish free as your skins natural oils help protect the metals from tarnishing. Polishing occasionally by rubbing or with a sterling silver polish will help remove any dullness or tarnish.
