Eucalyptus Gum Blossom Drop Earrings
These earrings are handmade in my studio and feature sterling silver shepherd hooks which are super strong and are made using 1mm thick wire so you'll hopefully never lose an earring again!
Made from recycled Aluminium, these Eucalyptus Gum Blossom Earrings are intricately handmade.Ā
Each design starts from a sketched drawing. It is then transferred to the metal using a template I've traced around and then precisely hand cut using my hand saw and a super fine saw blade. Each piece is then hand-stamped using various metal stamps and hammers to add the gum blossom detail.Ā
Each edge is then filed smooth, a hole drilled, and countersunk to remove any burs. All surfaces are then sanded to remove any scratches and polished using various grades to reveal a shiny matt finish. The shepherd hooks are then added and each pair is given a final hand polishing before they are ready for their new owners.
These earrings measure approximately 60mm tall and 40mm wide and are very lightweight.
They come in a natural finish, no added polish or wax has been added to the surface, so the metal will age over time adding to the character and charm.
If you prefer your earrings to maintain a bright shiny appearance you will need to keep cleaning them regularly using Silvo or a green scourer pad (see cleaning tips for more information).
All Meekz jewellery comes with complimentary gift wrapping.
