Scottish Botanical Amulet - Nettle Spirit & Brown Jasper

Part of the Scottish Botanical Amulet collection, this one-of-a-kind piece was created using a real dead nettle leaf gathered in Scotland. Through the process of copper electroforming, layer upon layer of copper was permanently deposited onto the leaf itself, capturing its delicate structure, intricate veins, and natural contours in lasting metal. Every detail of the original leaf remains beautifully visible, transforming this gift of the wild Scottish woodland into a unique keepsake.

Rich earthy tones flow throughout this design, from the warm copper leaf to the deep brown Jasper bead nestled within the handwoven micromacramé detailing. Suspended from a braided adjustable cord, this amulet may be worn close to the throat or lowered to rest near the heart, adapting to the wearer's preference.

Symbolism of the Design

Dead nettle is one of those plants easily passed by without notice. It grows quietly along woodland paths, beneath hedgerows, and in the untamed spaces between the cultivated and the wild. Though often overlooked, it returns season after season, thriving with quiet determination.

In the language of nature symbolism, plants such as these remind us that true strength rarely seeks attention. The dead nettle speaks of resilience, humility, and the beauty of remaining rooted in one's own nature. Captured in copper, this once-living leaf becomes a lasting tribute to the wisdom carried by the wild places of Scotland.

Its heart-shaped form further evokes themes of gentleness, connection, and appreciation for the simple gifts offered by the natural world. It is a reminder that even the most unassuming plants can carry their own quiet magic.
