The mighty Oak, a tree full of tales and history in Great Britain.  Personally this tree always reminds me of childhood holidays at my Grandparents playing with my older cousins up and around the big old Oak tree in their garden.

These silver earrings contain those happy memories of childhood, and new adventures through woodlands with my own daughter.  I saw out each acorn and oak leaf, then mark by hand the detail with a scribe.  Dainty, quirky and pretty shiny.

These earrings measure 10mm by 6mm and are made from sterling silver.

Please bare in mind that each item is handmade, therefore variations in texture are all part of their charm.

The Perfect Treat

⭐ Your jewellery will come in a box or cotton pouch, with a jewellery care card and a polishing cloth, where availability allows, making the perfect gift to give or treat to yourself.

Materials

🌿 Silver I use recycled sterling silver in all my pieces.

🌿 Copper Some of my designs include copper, sometimes I leave it heat coloured and sometimes I shine it up.  I will coat the copper in clear metal lacquer or wax to slow down oxidisation.

🌿 Semi precious stones I buy my stones from a couple of selected sources who ethically source their stones.

Making and Posting

📦 I do try to keep most things in stock so you don't have to wait too long for your new jewellery. I aim to have your jewellery made, polished, packaged and at the post office in 5 working days.

📦 Each item is handmade by myself so when demand is high or if the item is in a specific size, like rings, or requires hallmarking, like bangles, then please allow 2 weeks. Message me if you are curious about a lead time before ordering.

Care Instructions

🧡 Store in a box when you're not wearing it to minimise surface tarnish.

🧡 Polish silver with a microfibre cloth to remove tarnish from the surface.

💛 Apply creams and perfume and allow to absorb before putting on your jewellery.  If it gets onto your jewellery wash in mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.

💚 Remove your jewellery before bathing or swimming, and especially in hot tubs.

💙 Take extra care when cleaning around stones.

💜 Silver will tarnish over time but on some people it will darken quicker simply due to natural oils in the skin or products used on the skin.

🤍 Copper is notorious for both tarnishing and for turning green.  The tarnish can be cleaned with a copper cleaner, or with lemon juice and salt.  The green, Verdigris, happens with moisture contact, it is not toxic and will wash off of skin with soap and water, copper can be coated with clear metal lacquer to give a barrier.
