These lovely contemporary drop earrings are made from a broad oval of textured recycled solid sterling silver with a cut-out centre, which has been imprinted with a geometric pattern, and suspended from handcrafted Argentium Silver hook wires with a wire-wrapped detail around the top.

The oval element measures 23mm by 20mm and the earrings have an overall drop length of just over 4cm from the top curve of the hook to the bottom of the oval.

The silver used in the main oval is 1mm thick and has been patterned using a rolling mill, and the whole of the earrings have been oxidised with a darkening patina to add depth and highlight the detailing. The hooks and the wire detailing have been brought back to a higher shine, whilst the oval itself retains a contrasting soft brushed satin finish with a very subtle sheen.

The earrings are suspended from handmade Argentium Sterling Silver hookwires, which are a longer length to help balance the weight. Argentium is a newer variety of sterling silver and is stronger, more tarnish resistant and also hypoallergenic - this makes it perfect for those who may have a sensitivity to traditional 925 sterling silver.

A great pair of stylish and modern drop earrings that are equally suited for everyday casual and smarter evening wear!

*Please note, these are handcrafted earrings and as such each pair is totally unique and the pattern and exact length of the hooks may differ from that shown in the images. For hygiene reasons any earrings worn in photos are kept as as master copy and not sold.

PACKAGING & SHIPPING

Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-4 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available if required for an additional charge (delivery estimate 1-2 working days).

I always aim to despatch all orders on the same or next working day that they are received, so any upgrade in postage chosen by a customer will be for the purposes of achieving higher priority within the Royal Mail system itself, rather than a faster processing time from me as a seller.

Please be aware that I am unable to guarantee specific delivery times of orders once posted but an estimate will be provided on checkout. This is a guide only.

GIFT WRAP & MESSAGING

Every item of Willow & Twigg jewellery is presented beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and ready for giving as a gift. However, if you would like to upgrade the standard packaging to a ribbon-tied cardboard gift box, then I also offer a gift-wrapping upgrade via the optional check-box.

Some larger or higher value items will include this option as standard and in such cases it won't be shown as an option in the listing.

If your purchase is a gift and you wish to include a short handwritten message on a tag then I am more than happy to provide this service free of charge, regardless of packaging choice. Please enter any required text in the optional box to the left of the images.

In addition, if you wish the item to be sent direct to the recipient, then please make sure the mailing address is correct during the checkout process.

Aftercare advice on how to best care for your handmade jewellery will be provided in a leaflet with every order, but can also be found at the link HERE.

More information on payment and shipping, along with a copy of our full terms and conditions and privacy policy can be found at the links in the main menu and at the footer of each page.

And finally, if there is anything else at all that you would like to know about a particular item then please don’t hesitate to send a message and I’ll do my best to help!
