Poppy Earrings in Copper and Sterling Silver

Poppy earrings. Handcrafted copper and sustainable recycled silver earrings.

I began by hand drawing the poppy flowers and cutting from copper sheet. I then textured with a hammer and shaped the petals. At the centre of each flower I have soldered tiny copper and silver beands and textured with a hand tool. Fitted to sterling silver ear wires.

I try to ensure all my work is made using sustainable materials. In using recycled silver in my work, it is not only sustainable, but also reduces the demand for newly mined silver, which in turn minimises environmental impact. 

I carry this through to my packaging and use FSC approved boxes, recycled plastics or eco alternatives in tape and bubble wrap and of all my packaging can be recycled or reused.

All my work is handmade by myself using traditional silversmith methods and materials sourced in the UK.  Jewellery is sent in its natural state and will tarnish with wear, clean with jewellery cleaner. Avoid spraying with perfume and keep away from chemicals such as chlorine which will tarnish silver and copper and may damage gemstones.

Hallmarking of items containing 7.78g of silver or above is carried out by the London Assay Office along with application of my own unique makers mark.
