Sterling Silver and Resin Oval Stud Earrings Embedded with Bright Marine Plastic by Leanne Allison Designs

Featuring a sterling silver organic-shaped open circle stud and bright resin ovals, these earrings will always stand out in a crowd. They are designed to be lightweight, allowing you to wear them all day and the stud fastening ensures a secure fit.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 known as marine or ocean plastic) collected from a local beach. By repurposing and incorporating microplastics into the design, I contribute to reducing plastic waste and promote eco-conscious fashion.The circles have been hand forged by me from silver wire. The circles have been soldered and sanded before being twisted and moulded by hand to give them an organic shape and texture before being polished to a high shine. Each oval is also handcrafted and the microplastics have been individually placed in the resin, resulting in a mesmerising blend of colours and patterns.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.For this pair of earrings the front face is smooth and on the back face you can feel the marine plastic.MATERIALS– Oval Drop – Eco Friendly Plant Based Resin and Microplastics – Stud Circles – Sterling SilverSIZES– Total Length – 60mm – Resin Drop Width – 30 mm – Silver Stud Width – 20 mm – Stud Post Length – 10 mm– Ear Back Type – ButterflyFor 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.
