Sterling Silver and Resin Oval Earrings embedded with Green Ocean Plastic by Leanne Allison Designs

Super cute green oval earrings, designed to give a pop of colour while being kind to the environment.Featuring a sterling silver ear wire and resin ovals embedded with ocean plastic, these earrings will always stand out in a crowd. They are designed to be lightweight, allowing you to wear them all day.As part of my commitment to sustainability, these earrings are made with a combination of recycled sterling silver, eco friendly plant based resin and microplastics (also called marine or ocean plastic) collected from a local beach in Mornington. By repurposing and incorporating microplastics into the design, I contribute to reducing plastic waste and promote eco-conscious fashion.The ear wires have been hand forged by me from silver wire. Each oval is also handcrafted and the microplastics have been individually placed in the resin, resulting in a mesmerising blend of green.I handmade them using whatever marine plastic I have on hand. This differs all the time and is based on what I am able to collect from my local beach.I also don’t pop any bubbles that appear in the resin because I think it gives it adds to the ‘ocean’ look and feel of the earrings. As a perfectionist, this bugs me but I am rolling with itMATERIALS– Oval Drop – Eco Friendly Plant Based Resin and Microplastics (marine plastic) – Ear Wires – Sterling Silver SIZES– Total Length – 40mm – Resin Drop Width – 10 mmFor every piece of microplastic jewellery sold, two dollars will be donated to the Sea Turtle Foundation to protect the world’s turtles, and two dollars will be donated to Sea Shepherd to help their efforts to protect the world’s oceans, marine life, and beaches.
