One single Small 22k gold stud earring

These small gold stud earrings are handmade by me, one 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.

For more about bimetal in 22k, see http://hausermiller.com/fab/bimetal.html- this is where I purchase it from.

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

I strive to run an ecologically sustainable business.

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.

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 earrings.

- GUARANTEED forever against breakage due to normal use.

- SUSTAINABILITY: I use silver and gold with a 50- 90% post consumer content from Hauser and Miller, precious metals manufacturer since 1909. They purchase 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: Silver.
