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

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 (option to upgrade to $5 express shipping at checkout).

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. 😊
