16mm x 2mm black silver hoop earrings

These small sterling silver hoop earrings are handmade by me, in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

They have been oxidized- or tarnished heavily, also called a patina.

They are a matte, flat black, or dark charcoal grey that does not irritate the skin.

If you can wear sterling silver, you can wear these oxidized sterling silver earrings.

These earrings have lightness, durability and detail unachievable via mass production processes.

SUSTAINABILITY: I use silver and gold with a post consumer content from precious metals manufacturers that purchase new metals from fair labor practicing mines.
