The ginkgo tree, a sacred tree of the East, is thought to be one of the oldest living trees, dating back to more than 200 million years. In Japanese decorative art, the ginkgo’s distinctive fan-shaped leaf has been a symbol of longevity, profound endurance and unity of opposites.
The Japanese Gingko Leaf series from the Shinji Classic Collection radiates timeless elegance. The Gingko Leaf series has been created with the gold and silver layering technique synonymous to the Shinji Classic collection. With a base of high purity silver, plated with 23K Gold, the gold has been partially scraped away from the leaf design to reveal the silver underneath. This delicate and intricate finish gives this sought-after design its unique beauty.

23K Gold Vermeil:
Our Gold pieces are crafted with a thick coating (approximately 3 microns) of 23k Gold over a base of high purity Britannia Silver 958. 23k Gold Vermeil is a higher quality and more durable plating than industry-standard gold plating. 23k Gold Vermeil does need a little care and attention to keep it looking great. Always remove your 23k Gold Vermeil jewelry when applying fragrance, and avoid wearing pieces when bathing. At the end of each day, please wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth and store your pieces in the provided ziplock bag.
