These earrings are 100%recycled.
I use Argentium silver wire to make all of my ear hooks , every ear hook has a little piece cut from the bottom to make them the correct size. I keep these little pieces and once I have a good collection I melt them into a lovely lump of argentium silver.
This recycled lump of silver is then put through my rolling mill many times to form a sheet of silver.
The earrings are then cut out of the sheet, and are then textured using a diamond bur and jewellers hammer.
All of my earrings are hand made. I do not mass produce any of my pieces. They are also what I call ‘organic’ , they are not perfect , small imperfections add to their charm.
