Available in two different widths and two different finishes, these unique and unusual sterling silver ear cuffs are each handmade from strips of textured recycled solid sterling silver which have been imprinted with a pattern of swirling vines with leaves.

Perfect for adding interest to the ear without the need to add any extra holes, these do not require piercings and simply slip over the ear. This listing is for a slightly thicker and larger cuff which is designed to comfortably fit around the middle section of the ear - there will be a matching selection available soon which are better suited to the upper section of the ear.

Solid individually, these are available in either 7mm or 5mm widths, and are put on by simply pulling the ear taught and sliding the gap over the outer edge of the ear. The cuff can then be gently moved towards the middle section of the ear and secured in place by turning it inwards.

There is some flexibility in the silver so that the cuffs can be adjusted for the perfect fit, either by slightly enlarging the gap by carefully pulling the ends apart, or alternatively closing it by very gently squeezing them together.

Once you have adjusted the cuff for the most comfortable fit it is not recommended that it be further manipulated, as doing so can harden the metal and prolonged flexing may cause it to crack or even snap.

The cuffs have been oxidised with a darkening patina for a vintage look that highlights the beautiful details in the patterns, and are available in either a reflective bright and shiny finish, or a softer satin finish for a more subtle look. Please select your chosen finish along with your preferred width from the menu on the left.

The same style of cuff earrings are also available with a star pattern, as shown in the images. All cuffs will come ready shaped - the flat ones in the images are for better illustration of patterns only!

Each cuff is approximately 10mm (1cm) across in diameter, and are all handmade individually. This means that each one is totally unique and there will likely be some differences in pattern placement to those shown in the images.

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!
