16 x 2mm 925 sterling silver hoop earrings for men

These small, chunky sterling silver hoop earrings for men or women are hand made by me, in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

Size: 16mm exterior diameter, 13mm interior diameter, 2mm wide.

Solid sterling silver posts and backs.

I strive to run an ecologically sustainable business.

- GUARANTEED forever against breakage due to normal use.

- SUSTAINABILITY: I use silver and gold with a 50- 90% post consumer content from Hauser and Miller, precious metals manufacturer since 1909. They purchase from fair labor practicing mines.

I believe that purchasing high quality jewelry with a post consumer content that is repairable and recyclable is very important.

I make jewelry in small batches, minimizing waste and resources wherever I can. My manufacturing processes strives to strengthen the metal by using hand forming techniques en lieu of casting processes.

I use bimetal instead of plating in my gold jewelry. Sheets of 22k or 18k gold are fused with sterling silver. The result is repairable, easily recyclable and avoids the use of cyanide solutions needed for plating.

Materials: recycled silver, silver posts and backs, solid 925 sterling silver.
