55mm 925 sterling silver hoop earrings, oxidized black.

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

I strive to run an ecologically conscious business.

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

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.

Size: 55mm diameter, 1.5mm wide, 1mm thick.

Solid sterling silver posts and backs.

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 and resources wherever I can. My manufacturing processes strives to strengthen the metal by using hand forming techniques en lieu of casting processes.

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