30mm 925 sterling silver hoop earrings, oxidized black.

These black 925 sterling silver hoop earrings are handmade by me in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

Size: 3cm diameter, 5mm wide, 1mm thick.

They have been oxidized to a matte finish, charcoal black grey- or tarnished heavily, also called a patina.

The black will not irritate skin. If you can wear sterling silver, you can wear these earrings.

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

I strive to run a sustainable business.

Solid sterling silver posts and backs.

GUARANTEED forever against breakage due to normal use.


SUSTAINABILITY: 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 strive to purchase metals from manufacturers that use post consumer recycled content and metals from fair labor practicing mines

I believe that purchasing high quality jewelry that is repairable and recyclable is very important.

I use either solid gold or bimetal in my gold jewelry. To manufacture bimetal, a sheet of 22k gold is fused with sterling silver. The result is repairable, easily recyclable and avoids the use of cyanide solutions required for plating.

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