YELLOW TIGER MOTH STUDS!
Introducing my next insect design... the Yellow Tiger Moth (Agape chloropyga) which is commonly found in South Australian backyards.
This little moth is yellow in colour and has 5 orange spots on each wing.
Made from recycled brass, sterling silver, and paint pen, these studs are approximately 15mm tall and feature sterling silver posts.
These little earrings are the perfect size for anyone who loves a little statement but not a big statement.
This design is the 9th design in my new collection.
Jewellery Care:
Here are some ways to keep your Yellow Tiger Moth Studs in great condition!
- Hold your earrings by the edges or the posts especially when putting them on and off.
- Try to not touch the front of the earrings if you can. The flat unstamped surfaces can become marked and scratched over time.
- Avoid getting them wet. It's best to avoid wearing your earrings in heavy rain or in the shower, as the brass and sterling silver can discolour, and the paint pen can dull over time.
- Keeping them clean... avoid using alcohol based products on your earrings. Use a microfiber cloth to polish them or if marked, use 1000 grit sandpaper and gently sand the front of the studs to remove any finger prints or unwanted marks. Please note: once sanded, the earrings front will be raw; so avoid touching the surface until air (oxygen) has started tarnishing it again.
- Store them safely. All Meekz Contemporary Jewellery come in their own gift box which will keep your earrings clean, protected and stop it sticking to all other metal things.
