Iridescent Abalone Stem Leaf
A hand-shaped stem leaf crafted from natural abalone nacre, designed as a botanical component for a larger handcrafted rose sculpture.
The leaf follows a natural tapered form while preserving the intricate layered structure and iridescent coloration of the shell. Depending on the angle of the light, the nacre shifts through subtle greens, blues, silvers, and other luminous tones.
This is an individual sculptural component rather than a finished jewelry piece, created to become part of a larger nacre rose.

I create handcrafted sculptures, lapidary art, jewelry, and unique mixed-media pieces using stone, wood, shell, beads, wire, and found materials. Each piece is designed, shaped, carved, and finished by hand.
