The Foraged Finds collection debuts replicas of Irish botanicals found around the Lost Forest farm, within knotted hedgerows, or lovingly grown in the Lost Forest cottage garden. Every treasure has been entirely handcrafted by Gillian using a handmade mold, and intricately fashioned by hand in recycled eco- friendly 99.9% fine silver. All the finds retain their beautiful form and idiosyncrasies that make them truly unique, and wonderfully tactile.

Each item then goes through a highly skilled and intensive process using the ancient art of Keum Boo. Gillian uses the technique of burnishing with heat and pressure to apply areas of 24k gold foil to the silvers surface. The action of diffusion permanently bonds the gold to the silver creating a sumptuous and luxurious result. The effect is that of dappled golden sunlight on the surface of the leaves

‘Crann Bethadh’

In the ancient Irish language ‘Crann Bethadh’ translates to the feeding tree or the Tree of Life. This special edition series of earrings feature the leaves of native Irish trees and plants. You can choose from the following:

• Blackberry leaves with amethyst gemstones.

• Oak leaves with peridot gemstones.

• Snowberry leaves with white topaz gemstones.

• Fern leaves with peridot gemstones.

The hand of the maker is evident in each piece as no machinery has been used during making. This is a charming characteristic of a handcrafted item.

The back of the earrings are left polished and unadorned.
