These are on the hefty side of lightweight. I take pride in making sure that my earrings aren’t heavy. These aren’t for sensitive earlobes, but are still lighter than most earrings of its kind.
Some of THE BEST Royston Ribbon turquoise out there! Seriously, it isn’t every day that you come by a pair of Ribbon like these. Trust me, I’ve been watching out for eight years now. These are a nod to the mountain ranges around me. Inspired by my love for the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains and the rivers that flow through my veins. I love the gold behind the mountains. Really, just one of the best pairs of earrings I’ve ever made.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
All of my jewelry is stamped .925 so that you know it is sterling silver. This is also helpful for resell value.
