"Ginkgo products are based on extracts from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree, also known as the maidenhair tree, which first appeared on Earth during the time of the dinosaurs about 200 million years ago. Widely marketed as a way of improving mental alertness and slowing the development of Alzheimer's disease, Ginkgo are among the top selling herbal products in both Europe and the U.S. and have long been a staple of Chinese herbalists." Quoted from, ScienceDaily.com
Personally, it is my affinity for this beautiful shape that has prompted me
to share it with others in the form of jewelry.
Some of its more provacative aspects to me are:
its fan shape,
the delicate maidenhair texture, its historical aspect,
its capacity to survive all environmental assaults,
its many beneficial herbal uses, etc, etc.
ENJOY!
These are cast directly from the leaf in sterling silver.
