Vintage Buttercup Earrings: 1960s Biscuit Tin, Sterling Silver

Buttercup earrings made from a 1963 "Grace" design Huntley and Palmers biscuit tin hung on .925 sterling silver earwires/studs/leverbacks or rhodium-plated clips (please choose fitting before adding to basket).

Each piece is carefully hand-cut and the edges sanded smooth before being shaped very gently so as to preserve the beautiful relief design. A coat of fine microcrystalline preserving wax is then applied to bring out the beautiful vintage colours and protect the surface.

Design will vary slightly depending on which bit of the tin I used.

READY TO GIFT

Every pair of these earrings arrives gift-wrapped at no extra cost, saving you time and effort. I make little paper gift envelopes from pretty wrapping paper for each order, and decorate each little parcel with co-ordinating ribbons and a tiny bunny charm. The pretty packages are even small and light enough to hang on the Christmas tree!

Whether treating yourself or sending a gift directly to a loved one, it's a pretty treat from the moment you open the envelope! (design will vary depending on which nice wrapping paper caught my eye!)

Please bear in mind that my jewellery is made from preloved tins. This means that they've seen a bit of life, they may have scratches and dents, bumps and scrapes, some may have faded or discoloured a little, but they're all beautiful in their own way. I try to avoid damaged parts as far as possible, but I believe it's our experiences and our imperfections that shape our character, and I think that goes for beautiful recycled treasures too. I hope you agree x
