The gingko tree is native to East Asia (it can live up to 1000 years!) and is featured in traditional Japanese art. The shape of the ginkgo leaf is unique and beautiful. Everbloom’s jewelry captures that beauty in metal form with each hand-carved piece made to look like the real leaves, while its sculpted blooms are every bit as enchanting. Our silver items have a protective lacquer finish to help prevent oxidation. To care for our silver items, simply wipe down your pieces with a dry, 100% cotton cloth. Keep them away from water, jewelry cleaners, silver cleaners, treated polishing cloths, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, hand-sanitizers and make-up. We offer our own that you can safely use.
