Summary

Detail Description
Ashleigh George has designed unique and unusual jewelry from inspiration born of several sources including: her original homeland on the African continent with its diverse and distinct patterns, her love for color, and her passion for adornment. With each piece being handmade, the wearer has the opportunity to express individuality, to reach for the extraordinary, and to wear a piece that is made with love.
The charm necklaces found in Ashleigh's Safari Collection are extraordinarily simple yet striking pieces of jewelry that are inspired by the intricate patterns found in nature. The charms are available in sterling silver or 14k gold and worn on a gold filled or sterling silver chain of varying lengths.
The necklace features a 1/2" wide by 1/2" tall sterling silver leopard print pendant showcased on a dainty gold-filled chain. The charm is double sided, one side showcasing the leopard markings, the other side featuring the leopard footprint.
All Ashleigh George jewelry is individually wrapped in her signature recycled black card box with silver ribbon.

About ashleigh GEORGE
THE ARTIST
My fascination for jewelry began at the age of three, when I would spend hours rummaging through my grandmas jewelry boxes. I was intrigued by their contents, their history, and what they meant to my grandma. Jewelry for me represents and holds these qualities, and memories intact. The richness of Scripture along with intricate patterns; shape and colour are the source of my inspiration. It is important to me that my pieces are wearable, and my hope is that the people who wear the piece, will be inspired by the Word of God, that they will find comfort, strength and the truth that Scripture carries.
