**NOTE** As with any metal, Fine Silver and Argentium Silver may cause a reaction in some people. If you notice any reaction, please protect yourself with a product like SkinGuard. Fine Silver will naturally patina over time and with extended wear-- swimming or bathing with this product will cause it to patina faster. If you wish to remove this patina, please use a standard jewelry cleaning cloth; do not submerge in cleaning solution.

Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Leha, and I am the artist for The Greene Bead. I specialize in wire wrapped and Polymer Clay jewelry, and I create miniature (indoor) fairy gardens. I try to use as much naturally derived product as I can, including all genuine gemstones, mined locally here in Wisconsin, Illinois and from around the world. Some of my pieces even include upcycled items such as vintage beads, crystals and buttons!
My journey began back in 2010 as a way to create new jewelry for myself, a broke college student, by taking apart jewelry I already owned and piecing it back together to create new items. One of my roommates at the time saw what I was doing and asked me to create a few pieces for him, and that's how this all started!
After many years of practice and improvement (I'm still improving everyday!), I've come to the point in my journey where I can start giving back. I've created many pieces to be used in silent auctions to raise money for my high school, my hometown library, benefits for friends and family to help with medical bills, and even Parkinson's research.
Last, but certainly not least, it is my personal goal to make sure each and every item I create for you is completely unique and that you are 100% satisfied with your order. Please feel free to message me with any questions, comments or concerns! I wish you all the best in your endeavors to find that perfect gift for yourself or someone you love.

How it’s Made
For this pendant, I used a piece of Sand Dollar that I found while combing the beaches of Destin, Florida. I used Fine Silver to wrap this piece, and used Peridot gemstone chips as the leaves of the tree. You can see how I created this piece by watching this video, which was also a Tree of Life, but just made with wire:
