Flora Silver Jewelry Collection

This is my collection of handmade silver floral jewelry, pieces I fabricate by hand in fine silver and Argentium sterling silver, shaped after the flowers and leaves I can never get enough of. Each one is a small talisman for anyone who is happiest among growing things.

I have never met a flower I did not think was beautiful, and even in silver, without any color, I find the shapes of flowers and leaves perfect to design with. I love their curves and their organic forms, the way you really cannot get them wrong. Each piece here is my way of keeping a little of that with you all year.

Made by hand, from sheet and wire

I grow each flower and leaf the slow way, shaping them from sheet metal and wire. I even melt my own silver, fine silver with Argentium, for a metal brighter and more tarnish-resistant than traditional sterling, and every petal is then stamped, sawed, filed, sanded, and soldered by hand, one at a time, in my studio. These are meant to be worn every day, not saved for good, tough enough for the garden yet light enough to forget you have them on.

What metal is Pure Whimsy floral jewelry made from?

Most pieces are made from recycled fine silver and Argentium sterling silver. I make my own metal by melting fine silver together with Argentium, which is brighter and more tarnish-resistant than traditional sterling.

Are these pieces handmade?

Yes. I hand fabricate every piece from sheet metal and wire, hand stamping, sawing, filing, sanding, and soldering each one myself, one at a time, in my studio.

Will the silver tarnish?

Fine silver and Argentium sterling silver tarnish very little, even less than traditional sterling silver, and every order includes a Pro-Polish pad with simple instructions to keep your piece bright for years. Many pieces are also intentionally oxidized, which is a finish, not tarnish.

Does it arrive gift-ready?

Yes. Every order ships in a branded gift box with a handwritten note and a Pro-Polish pad, tucked into a hand-sewn jewelry bag or finished with a sticker, and sent via USPS Ground Advantage.
