Two Olive Leaf Silver Wrap Around Necklace

For Palestinian jewelry designer Nadia Abu Ghattas, the olive tree is more than a landscape—it is a symbol of Sumud (steadfastness) and an ancestral anchor. This collection begins in the intimacy of Nadia’s own backyard in Beit Jala, Bethlehem. By selecting real leaves from her childhood olive tree, she ensures that every vein, curve, and organic detail is captured forever. This process transforms a fleeting fragment of nature into an eternal symbol of resilience and a literal piece of home.

The Artistry
This wrap necklace is a masterclass in fluid design. Featuring a leaf on each end of a delicate, elongated string, the piece is engineered for infinite styling. Each leaf is a distinct masterpiece, meticulously chosen and cast from an exclusive gypsum mold to preserve its singular texture. Because the original leaf is consumed in the casting process, no two necklaces are ever identical. This is not just an accessory; it is a versatile, sculptural treasure that brings the quiet strength and natural charm of the Bethlehem hills to a contemporary wardrobe.

The Specification

A radiant and organic silhouette curated for the enthusiast who values the intersection of personal memory and high-end versatility:

• Authentic Origin: Cast from real olive leaves sourced directly from the designer’s family home in Bethlehem.

• Transformative Styling: An "open-string" design that allows for multiple wear patterns:

  • The Cascade: Loop the ends so one leaf rests high at the neckline while the other falls lower on the chest.

  • The Symmetry: Twist the strand so both leaves fall at an even level for a balanced, paired look.

  • The Front-to-Back: Drape one leaf forward and the other over the shoulder for a modern, dramatic silhouette.

• Singular Uniqueness: Each leaf is individually molded, ensuring that no two necklaces are ever exactly the same.

• Premium Composition: Hand-cast in sterling silver, providing a sophisticated and comfortable tactile experience for the modern wardrobe.
