The Ginkgo Biloba Short Pendant from RAS draws inspiration from one of nature's most enduring symbols. The ginkgo tree — often called a living fossil — has survived unchanged for over 200 million years, and its distinctive fan-shaped leaves have long represented resilience, longevity, and beauty across cultures. RAS captures this spirit in a delicate three-leaf pendant of extraordinary lightness, crafted by hand in their Madrid studio.
Made from brass with a warm gold plate and a protective layer of lacquer, the pendant is designed to last. The lacquer seal helps protect the finish against everyday wear, making it a piece you can reach for again and again. The finely cut filigree leaves — each vein traced in intricate detail — catch the light beautifully, giving the necklace real presence without any heaviness. Thoughtfully sized at approximately 4 x 5 cm, it sits perfectly at the collarbone on a 40 cm chain with a 5 cm extension.
Whether you are looking for a gift full of meaning or a personal talisman for the nature-lover in your life, this pendant speaks quietly and beautifully. It arrives in a RAS gift bag, ready to give — and is the kind of piece that gets kept for years.

Why ORA Loves It
We fell for this necklace the moment we saw it. There is something deeply satisfying about a piece of jewellery that carries real meaning without trying too hard — and the Ginkgo Biloba pendant does exactly that. The ginkgo leaf is one of the most recognisable shapes in the natural world, and RAS has rendered it with incredible lightness and craft. It is the kind of necklace that works just as beautifully with a silk blouse as it does thrown over a linen tee. And because it comes in a gift bag, it always looks as though someone thought very carefully about you.
As the exclusive Sheffield stockist of RAS jewellery, ORA Gallery is proud to bring these Madrid-designed pieces to customers who appreciate thoughtful, independent design.

How to Wear / Style Notes
This pendant sits beautifully at collarbone length — ideal for V-necks, scoop necks, and open shirts. Wear it alone for understated elegance, or layer it with a shorter choker or longer chain for a curated, modern look. The warm gold tone works especially well with earthy tones, cream, olive, and deep green. Pair with the matching Ginkgo Biloba earrings — also available at ORA Gallery — for a coordinated set.
