These unusual and striking oak leaf earrings have been lovingly hand-forged from recycled sterling silver and paired with handcrafted Argentium sterling silver hookwires to create the perfect accessories for all nature lovers!
Each leaf has been individually sawn by hand from sheet metal and formed into the shape of an oak leaf. They have been further embossed with an oak leaf pattern and given an antique patina and brushed satin finish that really brings out the beautiful detail in the design.
Each leaf measures 4cm from the top of the hanging loop to the base of the leaf, and is 2cm wide at the widest part. They each have a single silver ring attached at the top from which they hang from the Argentium hookwires.
Argentium silver is a newer variety of sterling silver and is stronger, more tarnish resistant and also hypoallergenic. This makes it potentially much more suitable for those who may have a sensitivity to traditional 925 sterling silver.
Please note that these earrings are handmade and will therefore not be exact replicas of each other, but they have each been carefully paired together so that the size, shapes, pattern and shading are as close a match as possible.
The patina effect will darken naturally over time as the metal oxidises further with exposure to the air. Storing them in an airtight container or bag when not in use will slow this process down.
*Any earrings worn in photos are kept as master copies and will not be sold.
There is also a matching necklace and bracelet in this style, available to view within the 'Oak Leaf' collection on the shop home page, where you can also find a similar range made using copper.
Shipping within the UK is already included via Royal Mail's ‘Tracked 24’ service (delivery estimate within 2-3 working days), with an optional upgrade to an express 'Special Delivery' service available at checkout 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.
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.
