Keep your cash and cards secure in this unique money clip. This money clip features a truly unisex design and will be loved by men and women who want to reduce the bulk of carrying around a wallet. Slide it in your back pocket or slip it inside a small clutch purse for those occasions when simplicity is essential. This money clip is made with a nickel base and a sterling silver design. The nickel base has a silver colour, similar to sterling silver or stainless steel. Nickel is a strong metal that will retain it's memory and 'spring', keeping the tension tight so your cash will always be secured no matter how many notes are stored in the clip. The nickel will not tarnish either. This one of a kind money clip features sheet of etched sterling silver that has been soldered to the nickel base. The unique design is a drawing that I have done, then transferred onto metal, etched and then oxidised to create a dramatic aesthetic. This money clip measures 1" (25mm) x 2" (50mm) *Unfortunately, the cash used in the image is NOT included in the listing ;)

Leander is an Australian artist, metalsmith and maker who has been using her hands and mind creatively throughout her life. Now based in Tucson, Arizona – where the desert warms her heart and ignites her creative fire - Leander is passionately pursuing her career as a professional bench jeweler, designer and small business owner. She specializes in one of a kind pieces and has a strong commitment to use ethical, sustainable materials in her craft. For Leander, inspiration is found in the complexity of the natural environment, biological forms, rhythms and symbolic patterns – both physical and philosophical. Often referred to as a 'natural born colorist', Leander instinctively employs bold colors and compositions in her unique work.
Leander is committed to building a sustainable, environmentally ethical jewelry practice by using 100% Recycled metals. The metals she uses are refined from material that has already been extracted from the earth, such as jeweler's scraps and what would other wise be industry waste. This means that landscapes aren't destroyed, that the people living on mineral-rich lands aren't displaced and that eco-systems aren't polluted by the dirty processes of mineral mining in order to make her art.

Jonathan Williamson
For Jonathan's PendantWorking with Leander was very easy. She took my original design idea and offered suggestions to make it better. Communications were timely and clear. We settled on a final design and price after a few emails back and forth which took just a couple days.
As the beginning, she indicated she would be able to meet my tight time frame for delivery and met her commitment perfectly.
The piece is beautiful, and my wife loves it. I am very happy that Leander was able to bring my concept to life. If there is any critique, it is that there are small imperfections in the final finish/polishing of the piece that I noticed when inspecting it closely but my wife hasn't noticed at all. I guess I've been too long in the world mass-produced machine-made pieces. With hand-made work, you should expect character-enhancing imperfections.
Thanks for helping me to give my wife a special 20th anniversary present!

For Cyril's NecklaceLeander did an amazing job. It is exactly what I wanted after we discussed my ideas. My fiancé is going to love it so much. And Leander was able to get it to me in a timely manner before my fiancé's birthday. Next time I want a custom handmade necklace, I know who I am turning to!
Anna
For Anna's RingsLeander was wonderful. She did exactly what I asked for and I couldn't be more pleased. She made very good suggestions and was super easy to work with. My final project came out absolutely beautiful. I would love to work with her again, especially for my jewelry needs!
Yuan He
For Yuan's custom cufflinksI had to say she provides A+ customer service. Let me explain, I ordered a pair of cufflinks. Sterling Logo with graving on top of Resins background. When I got the pair back, I asked if one of them can be modified a little bit, without any trouble, she agreed to make me another one free of cost, but I insisted on paying the materials. When I get the third cufflink or the replacement back, you can tell from the smoothness of the resin and straight and round-off edges that Leander is a very talented and skilled jeweler.
I understand the nature of getting custom made items, you have to trust the skills of your freelances and be able to work with them should problem arises. At the end, she did both for me. Next time, I only wish I could get a pair like the quality of the third on the first time. But at least now, I know she got it down to perfection for my future orders.
