12x2mm 925 sterling silver hoop earrings, handcrafted in USA | Oxidized matte black

sterling silver hoop earrings hand hammered, one at a time by me in the Beautiful Pacific Northwest of North America. It has been oxidized- or tarnished heavily, also called a patina. It is 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. Because my jewelry is made using hand fabrication processes, it has lightness, durability and detail unachievable via mass production. I strive to run an environmentally sustainable business. SIZE: 12mm exterior diameter, 9mm interior, 2mm wide. and 1.5mm 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.
