By layering paper and metal with real bits of Mother Earth, jewelry designer Laura Crawford from Tangerine Treehouse is making nature accessible in a modern way, with each piece telling a story that will inspire interest and intrigue for both wearer and viewer alike.

Leaves, bark and seeds have all found their way into Laura's pieces, and she mixes them artfully with sterling silver, copper and sometimes a scattering of beads.

The Victoria Necklace features a copper pendant that has been embellished with gold paper.  Dried flowers are gilded and preserved, making the piece a treasured piece of wearable art.
