The earrings are cut from eco-friendly stainless steel, which is strong enough to form the very finest filigree shapes, before being beautifully textured on a series of anvils. This collection is inspired by delicate, woodland forms, the half light of dawn and dusk, and continues our themes of botanical sprigs and ancient classical mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Selene' is the Ancient Greek goddess of the moon, and whilst Luna and Diana hold similar places in Classical mythology, it is only Selene who was believed to be the living embodiment of the moon herself. She was the beautiful daughter of the Titans Thea and Hyperion, and sister to the sun god Helios, and the dawn goddess Eos. Our 'Selene' earrings are, whilst still making an elegant statement, the lightest earrings in our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just over half a gram per piece they really are barely there. Stainless steel is quickly becoming a highly popular choice among jewellery makers. It has long been valued for strength, shine, hygiene, and tarnish resistance. It can be endlessly recycled, and is considered one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly metals in common use. Its colour is very similar to sterling silver, and it is hard enough to be cut into the gossamer light shapes you see here… in fact, it is so strong it can be tricky to texture on our anvils, but my goodness its worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur oldest anvil is around 150 years old, and its still going very strong!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividual earring weight 0.54g This collection is mounted onto hypoallergenic solid sterling silver ear wires. Earrings and ear wires can be easily replaced should you lose one, so do get in touch if you need anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our postage and packaging materials are plastic free. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur business is run by a group of women in rural Cornwall, and we absolutely love what we do. We work flexibly around our children and support each other in life. Thank you so much for your support!
