Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings - Large Matte Finish Hammered Teardrop Hoops

These large sterling silver hoop earrings are handmade by me in the Pacific Northwest of North America. Size is 5cm high x 32mm wide Solid sterling silver posts and backs. 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. 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 minimizing resources wherever I can. My manufacturing processes strive to strengthen the metal by using hand forming techniques en lieu of casting processes. I fell in love with metal in the 1991 at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
