These small gold stud earrings are handmade by me, one pair at a time, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of North America.
The sheet I use in these earrings is manufactured by fusing sheets of 22k gold and sterling silver together.
This coin like sheet is called " bimetal".
Bimetal is a very durable, repairable, and recyclable material that avoids the use of the acidic cyanide solutions needed for gold plating.
5mm x 5mm and .75 mm thick.
Posts and backs are solid sterling silver and have been oxidized- or tarnished heavily, also called a patina.
If you can wear sterling silver, then you can wear oxidized silver.
GUARANTEED forever against breakage due to normal use.
SUSTAINABILITY: I purchase silver and gold from manufacturers that use post consumer recycled content, work with fair labor practicing mines and strive to take steps towards sustainability.
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.
Materials: 22k Gold, 925 Sterling Silver,
