These dainty dangly silver earrings have a gentle imprint of a Strawberry leaf and a strawberry flower petal on the front, taken from a plant growing in my garden (and I made sure to take a blossom that had no pollen left, so I wasn’t depriving the bees, although it means one less strawberry for me later in the year!).  The imprint has been gently aged to highlight the imprint and the back of the earring is hammered to give some added sparkle!

All of the imprint jewellery that I make, including these earrings, are similar in design, yet totally unique because no two plants, leaves or imprints are ever the same.  Each ‘pair’ is therefore not an exact match.  These designs begin life as precious metal silver clay, which is rolled out, imprinted and cut – sometimes I use a cutter to create more uniform circles, other times I go free-form.  (These were cut using a small lid from an essential oil spray!).  Once dried, a hole is carefully drilled and each piece is sanded smooth in the right places, by hand.  The piece is then ready for firing for which I use a blow torch.  The process of firing burns away the organic compounds in the clay, leaving behind a solid piece of fine silver (fine silver is 99.9% pure silver).

All my botanical designs, including these earrings, are made in very small batches, often to order, so there is minimal impact on the plant or other wild users of the plant! Which also means, of course, that the finished piece is truly one of a kind – just like each individual leaf in nature!

The imprinted discs are hung from sterling silver hooks.

The end result is a pair of solid yet lightweight silver earrings, one a kind, hugged by nature, hand crafted with love and ready to wear with pretty much anything!

Dimensions

Silver discs measure 1.3cm in diameter x 1mm depth.

Total drop from top of hook approx. 3.2cm

All my items will arrive wrapped in pale green recycled tissue paper fastened with linen thread, and in a recycled kraft pillow-box.  A little handwritten note explaining a bit about the piece is also included. Additional gift wrap options are available.

The pillow box is sent in a recycled cardboard box filled with eco-friendly, responsibly sourced UK wood wool.

The package will be shipped in 1-3 days and sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 which is included.  Other delivery methods are available on request.

 

COMMISSIONS:  You may also like to know that I love taking special requests and commissions – perhaps to celebrate a special birthday or event, or maybe just to turn a favourite ‘something’ you have collected into a piece of jewellery you can wear.   So if you’d like to talk about creating something truly unique and bespoke for you or someone in your life please do get in touch, I’d love to help. Previous commissions have included turning a customer’s own sea-glass into a necklace, handcrafting a Bramble flower for a 21st birthday, recreating a dangly Catkin for a favourite sister or some coffee bean earrings for a Barista.   It’s also worth knowing that commissions don’t necessarily cost more than items in the shop – it depends what you have in mind – so it’s always worth a no-strings chat.

Returns and Refunds

All of my pieces are handmade with a lot of love and I take great pride in everything I make, and in seeing a smile on your face! I am a strong believer in hand-made meaning quality and also that because each piece is individually made by hand there sometimes may be irregularities on the surface reflecting the organic nature of the materials I work with , which creates truly one of a kind pieces.

I also know that occasionally things might go awry, and if you find that you have a problem with your item please contact me straight away so we can discuss how best to resolve the situation.
