Yes, I am smitten!
*Mehndi is the application of henna as a temporary form of skin decoration, known in the West as "henna tattoos". More info can be found here:

A gorgeous, vintage brass paisley is soldered to a handmade 3mm wide sterling silver band, tumbled for several hours, oxidized and sanded to bring out the detail and finally polished & varnished. This can also be made BRIGHT and shiny upon request, or with a matte finish (as seen in the last photo), or even given a verdigris patina. Look for earrings in this shop as well!
Brass paisley measures approx. 1.5cm long.
Please allow about 1 week plus shipping, and take a moment to go over very important shop policies.
*PLEASE NOTE that I only use lead free & cadmium free silver solder in my soldered pieces, and a natural non-toxic "pickle" to clean the metal after using the torch. All of my raw metals (wire, sheet, etc.) are recycled/reclaimed metal. When oxidizing, I also use liver of sulfur. No harsh chemicals.*
