To the stars: Reaching beyond where you are now and beyond perceived limits. To keep going, even if you’re tired and when the path feels long.
Stunning handmade sterling silver and copper To the Stars earrings. A blend of modern and contemporary design. This edition, To the Stars - II, features sterling silver geometric square-shaped hooks with two 8-pointed star dangles on each earring - one sterling silver, one copper.
(Also available, To the Stars - I, please see separate listing here)
Measurements:
Square hook - approx 2cm x 2cm, 20ga wire
Silver stars - approx 2.5cm drop from hook x 2cm wide
Copper stars - approx 4.5cm drop from hook x 2cm wide
Total earring length - approx 7.5cm long
Materials:
Sterling Silver (925), made from ethically sourced and recycled / reclaimed silver.
Bare Copper, reclaimed or from ethical and sustainable suppliers whenever possible.
Please note - bare copper will naturally tarnish over time. The earrings can be easily polished to restore the shine if this is preferred.
Very lightweight.
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 and copper are considered sustainable materials 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. 😊
