Treatment Process:
1. Choose Unique Leaves:
- Select fresh, original leaves that are complete without any damage or wormholes. The shape and size should be suitable for making pendants.
- Soak the selected leaves in water for 20 days with sufficient sunlight to allow the leaf tissue to decompose naturally.
2. Clean and Trim:
- Gently brush off the excess mesophyll with a soft brush, taking care not to damage the veins.
- Select leaves with intact veins and trim them to uniform size and shape. Metalize the veins to prepare them for electroplating with brass.
3. Metalization and Electroplating:
- After brass plating, vacuum preserve the leaves.
- Electroplate them with real gold and pure silver to create a beautiful leaf pendant.
