A pair of classic sterling silver stud earrings for those people who aren't so comfortable with long drops. All these stones are 3mm faceted and brilliant cut. I've prong set them so that there is plenty of light from all sides to highlight the fabulous clarity and depth of colour which each stone has and I've tried to catch in the photos. I've a variety of earrings I've made, ready to dispatch, but yet to be photographed.
These will come with regular 925 sterling silver butterfly backs
Each earring is 3mm across, which is really petite, perfect for those with multiple piercings, or someone wanting something very subtle and elegant
I only use natural light and don't do anything to enhance my photos, taking them all in my home
***The final photo is of the same size stones, (Ruby) with a UK penny and USA dime for scale.
Real, natural, brilliant cut gemstone, prong set, faceted tiny studs
Everything is made using sterling silver. Many pieces are unique and one of a kind items, some are ranges.
Bullion (ie raw precious metal) is expensive and increases in price regularly.
I've decided that rather than increase the price of all my old stock to reflect this, I will just update the new pieces to reflect the cost of the metal when I bought it. This is why you will find some spinner rings, for example at different price points.
The sterling I use is supplied by a UK manufacturer as fully recycled with a minimum fineness of 92.5% silver; the remaining element of the alloy being copper.
Copper items are 100% copper
Within my making process I use food grade citric acid, vegan polishes, Liver of Sulphur, food grade Sodium Bicarbonate, Renaissance Wax finally cleaning each item with tap water and ‘Simple’ branded face soap.
Each piece I make will stand up to regular wear, but, as with all jewellery, please keep it away from children, don’t eat it, remove it before washing, using chemicals, applying perfume etc.
Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish.
The gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable UK dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different.
It's law in the UK, that precious metals for sale, heavier than 7.78grams (silver) / 1gram (gold) must be formally assayed (ie tested, verified & hallmarked)
