These eye catching drop earrings are made from Maple seeds painted with silver paste then fired to leave the impression in fine silver - 99.9% purity. The paste used is an eco friendly product containing particles of recycled silver & the ear wires are from silver supplied as 100% recycled. The ear wires are made from Sterling silver. All my drop earrings come with small rubber tube keepers to help prevent loss when wearing a high neck or scarf. I use Maple seeds rather than Sycamore because they are a nicer shape, in my opinion, & are smaller. Measuring approximately 2cms at the widest point & dropping to approximately 3cms these are small very dainty drop earrings, unique, no two are ever the same. All my drop earrings come with small rubber keeper tubes which help prevent loss when wearing a scarf or a mask. I like spending time selecting well shaped seed pods & in the case of earrings the best match to make pair. Due to the nature of this item the earrings may vary slightly in size & shape from the picture. Complimentary necklace available as in photo however this is not included in this listing it is only for reference. See separate listing. All handmade by me in my Herefordshire workshop. They come wrapped ready for gifting & safely packaged for delivery by Royal Mail. Great present for a nature/plant lover. Any questions feel free to message me, I am always happy to help. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. Caring for your silver jewellery: Humidity, oils from your skin, perfumes, lotions & hair products & other substances can stain & tarnish silver jewellery. Store your jewellery in a dark dry area such as a jewellery box or drawer. Allow enough space for each piece so they do not damage or scratch each other. Silver jewellery can be cleaned simply by polishing it with a soft cotton cloth which may be impregnated with a silver cleaner & anti tarnish agent for greater effect, although care should be taken if delicate gemstones are a feature.
