18 x 4mm 925 sterling silver hoop earrings for men, oxidized black.

These small, wide silver hoop earrings for men or women are handmade in small batches 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.

Approx. Size: 18mm exterior diameter, 5mm wide

Solid sterling silver posts and backs.

I strive to run an environmentally sustainable business.

Because my jewelry is made using hand fabrication processes, it has lightness, durability and detail unachievable via mass production.

GUARANTEED forever against breakage due to normal use.

SUSTAINABILITY: I use silver and gold with a post consumer content from precious metals manufacturers that purchase new metals 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, use of resources and strengthening the metal by using hand forming techniques en lieu of casting processes.

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