I've been using Eco silver since 2016, but now all the silver elements are certified recycled by my bullion dealer - it's made from the waste and offcuts returned and reclaimed in the jewellery process, which means it's environmental impact is significantly lower than if mined afresh.
Art Clay Silver, is also fully recycled
Keep an eye on my social media (@DawnGillDesigns) to see when I blog about the processes in making my shinies
Safety information
The sterling I use is supplied by a UK manufacturer as fully recycled with a minimum fineness of 92.5% silver; the remaining element of the alloy being copper. Within my making process I use food grade citric acid, vegan polishes, Liver of Sulphur, food grade Sodium Bicarbonate, Renaissance Wax finally cleaning each item with tap water and ‘Simple’ branded face soap. Each piece I make will stand up to regular wear, but, as with all jewellery, please keep it away from children, don’t eat it, remove it before washing, using chemicals, applying perfume etc. Apply body lotion and perfume a few minutes before putting on your jewellery to help slow down tarnish. The gemstones I use have been sold to me by reputable UK dealers as untreated (unless stated specifically in the listing). They are a natural, organic creation from the earth and each one will be slightly different. It's law in the UK, that precious metals for sale, heavier than 7.78grams (silver) / 1gram (gold) must be formally assayed (ie tested, verified & hallmarked)
You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
These petite hearts are made using fine (999) silver clay that turns to pure silver after firing (it's alchemy !) into which I impressed a teeny holly leaf stamp I made myself, to give the subtle texture.
They have 925 sterling silver earring posts on and sturdy (for comfort) 925 sterling silver butterfly backs.
After firing the silver clay and soldering the earposts, they get a spin in my barrel polisher and then a little bit of Liver Of Sulphur painted into the recess just to pick out the texture a little. This then gets sealed with Renaissance Wax to protect it.
Choose from with or without patinatation. As with all my jewellery, they are fully handmade, so there will be slight variations in the positioning of the leaves and the shading of the patination
Each earring measures 8mm x 8mm
These aren't hallmarked, as they are below the threshold of 7.78g which is the legal requirement for Assay here in the UK.
I've been using Eco silver since 2016, but now all the silver elements are certified recycled by my bullion dealer - it's made from the waste and offcuts returned and reclaimed in the jewellery process, which means it's environmental impact is significantly lower than if mined afresh.
Thanks for looking!
