Many sterling leaves and scrolls of vinework and curliques adorn this unique headpiece...something from Lord of the Rings, perhaps!

This is designed to be (obviously) a headpiece but is worn by quite a few brides out there compared to Renaissance event purposes. I really love this one. It looks so much better on a real head...

The leaves are to die for, as always. What's bothering me, though, is that I can't tell from the photo if the central leaf has a hinge on it or not....

:) The leaf is hinged so that it has movement and won't cause pressure points on your forehead. It seems to help given the entirety of the piece has some dimension and width to it, and being made in sterling silver, doesn't have the same flexibility as...say copper. But thank you for the compliments on the leaf work!

That's what I thought. How wonderful! I've always had a healthy respect for artists who can create their own hinges - it's such delicate work.

How do you manage such realistic leaves? Are the hand carved or cut and engraved?

I draw the leaves out, then cut them, then engrave for texture and vein like details...

That's what I figured, look too thin to cast. Bah...I suck at that stuff :p Awesome job.

Thank you! The leaves are made from 22 guage sterling sheet so they could be cast, but it's not worth it really. Not to me. By the time I set the sprues up, bake the investment and pour the silver, I could have cut them out, by hand, in less than one hour vs. 8! :)
