Frequently Asked Questions

What material do you use to make your creations?

They are in solid silver 925/1000.

Can Silverleaf creations be made out of gold or other metals?

No. Our creations are fashioned out of silver because we admire the beautiful and natural characteristic this metal has of taking on various colors through the oxidation process.

What machinery do you use to make them?

No mechanical or computerized means are used, no photoengraving and no printing.
These bookmarks are entirely made by hand, from the first cut to the last engraved detail.

What sort of dye do you use for the black coloring and silver shading?

We do not use any type of coloring substance.
The black tone and the various kinds of shading that you see in the silver are obtained by calibrating the metal oxidation; that’s why each object is thoroughly unique even in the variations of the coloring and shading.
Creations can be finished with various tones of galvanic plating.

Can Silverleaf creations be customized?

Yes, they can be personalized for free by engraving a name, a date or a short phrase. You can add your custom engraving during the purchase process.
The entire creation can be personalized as well. We can fashion a one-of-a-kind creation for you based on an idea, a photo or any other design. We will send you a sketch of your creation along with an estimated weight, measurements and a price quotation. Then it’s up to you to send an email to approve the proposal.
