{"product_id":"linden-leaf-skeleton-earrings-blue-opal-shimmer-and-real-leaf-circles","title":"Linden Leaf Skeleton Earrings — Blue Opal Shimmer","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThree things I love, unrelated to each other, until they weren't: a bonsai I've shaped for two years, a small home tank I keep just to watch something tiny do its own thing, and a brand built on noticing small things and connecting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leaf started as a linden (Tilia cordata ) trimming from the bonsai, fed to the tank the way any spare leaf would be. A few weeks later, the soft part was gone — just the skeleton left, this pale, veined lattice still holding its shape with nothing soft left to hold. I didn't paint that texture. The tank did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen I counted what was left worth using, there were exactly enough clean circles for four per earring — one on the stud, two below and one behind. Mindful obsessions, the love of circles. I didn't plan that. I just noticed it, the same way I noticed the leaf in the tank in first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach circle is hand-outlined in white against a blue shimmer background that reads almost opal in the light, then sealed under a final coat of clear varnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou're not buying a leaf-print earring. You're buying the actual leaf — the two-year-old tree in my care, the tank I keep for no better reason than liking tiny ecosystems, and the three things in my life that finally found their own line to each other, these earrings at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: UV resin, real skeletonized linden (Tilia) leaf hand-punched into circles, white paint, opal-blue shimmer pigment, clear varnish topcoat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: jump ring connecting stud to dangle, set into resin and glued for extra hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: stud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Ljubljana, Slovenia — hand-set, no two pieces identical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: keep away from water, perfume, and direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping: EU only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"This is Not a Toy.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57332574585172,"sku":null,"price":42.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/3499\/8612\/files\/IMG_8115.jpg?v=1790858360","url":"https:\/\/thisnottoy.com\/products\/linden-leaf-skeleton-earrings-blue-opal-shimmer-and-real-leaf-circles","provider":"This is Not a Toy.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
