Victorian silver ginkgo leaf hinged bangle. The raised ginkgo leaves, connected by engraved stems, to the polished reverse.
The ginkgo has been around since the times of the dinosaurs and a single tree can live for over a thousand years. Ginkgo have been known to live in very polluted areas and many even withstood the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bomb explosion, still growing today. The ginkgo shows us that we can survive even through the toughest of times.
Ginkgo is also a healing plant, memory and blood problems have been treated with ginkgo supplements, along with improving vascular and eye health and potentially dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
For those that seek the care and comfort of nature, this bangle may provide a reminder.
