Silver Ivy Leaf Earrings

Description

These beautiful handmade silver ivy leaf earrings are both the perfect accessory to any outfit as well as being a thoughtful gift for any occasion. In particular Ivy is said to symbolise everlasting life, devotion, fidelity and loyalty so maybe a thoughtful anniversary gift or even a just because gift to your best friend (or yourself).

The earrings are based on a real ivy leaf from my own garden in Edinburgh. The original leaf was coated with numerous layers of silver clay paste, it was then fired and the resulting solid silver leaf was then used to make a mould which allows me to recreate natures stunning designs in silver.

DIMENSIONS
Approximately 10mm by 11mm at their widest points.

MATERIALS:
Made from *fine silver with sterling silver ear posts and scrolls.

*fine or pure silver as its also known is made from microscopic particles of pure silver (much of which is recycled) embedded in an organic binder. It can be rolled, moulded, shaped, textured and stamped before drying and then firing. During firing, the binder burns away, and the result is a beautiful piece of fine silver which is 99.9% pure and, unlike sterling silver which is 92.5%, it will remain super shiny with only a quick polish required now and again.

PACKAGING & SHIPPING:
As standard all earrings are beautifully presented on a Ticketyboo Coo earring card, safely enclosed in a grey cotton gift bag.

If you would like to upgrade the packaging to a ticketyboo coo gift box tied with a ribbon, you can do so by selecting the gift packaging upgrade option.

MORE INFORMATION:
Handmade with love from start to finish. Everything is handmade by me at my home studio in Edinburgh. Using both traditional and modern techniques, only the highest quality materials and a little bit of love. I’m a firm believer in anything is possible and love nothing better than sitting at my bench without a plan to see what I can make.

My aim is for you to enjoy wearing your ticketyboo coo jewellery as much as I’ve enjoyed making it for you.

HALLMARKING:
It isn’t possible to detect the precious metal content of a piece of jewellery by sight or touch. Therefore, if it’s described as being made of or containing precious metals and weighs above 7.78g for silver and 1g for gold then, it is a legal requirement for it to be hallmarked as such by an Assay Office. I’m registered with the Edinburgh Assay Office and will always ensure that my work is hallmarked according to the necessary UK regulations.
