Upcycling... Transforming trash into treasure! 🪄
Sustainable jewellery handmade using a mix of upcycled waste materials.
Rainbow Moon Earrings
- This pair of earrings has been created using drink cans and food tins!
- All edges are carefully filed to a smooth finish
- Lightweight materials
- All hooks and connectors are handcrafted from sterling silver (925) wire and specifically designed for this piece to keep all dangles secure
- The sterling silver used is responsibly sourced and uses recycled/reclaimed silver in its production
- Every piece is hand-cut, therefore each pair of earrings will differ slightly, making them truly one-of-kind
- Designed and handmade in Christies Beach, South Australia with consideration for the environment, a commitment to reducing waste, and as a reminder of the importance of sustainability in everyday life

Approx length 5cm drop from hook x 2.5cm wide
Materials:

Rainbow Dangles: upcycled drink cans
Hooks and Connectors: sterling silver (925) from sustainably and ethically sourced and reclaimed materials

What makes the hooks special?
I design my earring hooks specifically to reduce the chance of them slipping out of ears and becoming a lost earring. This also eliminates the need to use rubber/silicone stoppers in an effort to become as eco-friendly as possible!
Uniqueness:
The handmade nature of this jewellery means...
It is not mass-produced. It is slow-made in my home studio, by me - only a small or limited number will be created.
No two pieces will be exactly the same and might have slight differences to the pictured items - each piece will be unique!
Sustainability:
Sterling silver is considered a sustainable material due to being infinitely recyclable. The silver I use is ethically and responsibly sourced and contains recycled silver.
I choose recycled and recyclable materials for all of my jewellery making and packaging whenever possible.
Local/Australian, eco-friendly, sustainable, and cruelty-free suppliers are my preferred choice whenever possible.
All waste produced is either kept for re-use, recycled, or disposed of responsibly.
The use of plastics is avoided as much as possible (except when re-using for upcycled pieces).
Other stuff:
- Tracked shipping included.
- All items are gift wrapped (with no tape or stickers, so can easily be opened up for a peek and re-wrapped if gifting!). Earrings are packaged on a recycled kraft cardboard earring card, then wrapped.
- Many items are made to order and might have slight differences to the pictured items due to the handmade charm.
- Some items are pre-made and ready to ship, some will be made to order. This is indicated in the description. Please allow 3-5 days creation time for made to order items. Your item/s will be posted within 1-3 business days after completing your order. An Australia Post tracking number is provided once your parcel is posted. 😊
