Handmade Recycled Fine Silver Ammonite Stud Earrings

Description

These cute little fine silver ammonite fossil stud earrings were handmade using a mould of the original ammonite fossil, one I found on the beach at Charmouth in Dorset, and eco-friendly silver clay.  Silver clay is a blend of tiny slivers of waste silver with an organic compound and water, to create a very malleable clay-like material that can be used in many different ways, and once dried it is fired, which burns off all the organic binders leaving behind solid fine silver – which is 99.9% pure silver.   In this case the firing created two fine silver replicas of the original ammonite, which have been cleaned and gently polished to leave a matt finish. A treat for a nature loving mum for Mother’s Day.

Details: Each fine (99.9%) silver ammonite stud measures approx. 1.2cm x 1.2cm x 0.2cm.  The butterfly and post are sterling silver.

All my items will arrive wrapped in pale green recycled tissue paper fastened with linen thread, and in a recycled kraft pillow-box.  A little handwritten note explaining a bit about the piece is also included. Additional gift wrap options are available.

The pillow box is sent in a recycled cardboard box filled with eco-friendly, responsibly sourced UK wood wool.

The package will be shipped in 1-3 days and sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 which is included.  Other delivery methods are available on request.

COMMISSIONS:  You may also like to know that I love taking special requests and commissions – perhaps to celebrate a special birthday or event, or maybe just to turn a favourite ‘something’ you have collected into a piece of jewellery you can wear.   So if you’d like to talk about creating something truly unique and bespoke for you or someone in your life please do get in touch, I’d love to help. Previous commissions have included turning a customer’s own sea-glass into a necklace, handcrafting a Bramble flower for a 21st birthday, recreating a dangly Catkin for a favourite sister or some coffee bean earrings for a Barista.   It’s also worth knowing that commissions don’t necessarily cost more than items in the shop – it depends what you have in mind – so it’s always worth a no-strings chat.
