MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Buy handmade!
Buy recycled!

The tapa shape is made from PURE Silver and textured on the front with a kind of paisley pattern (the highly polished pattern catches the light), the back is plain silver brushed; a hole in the centre takes the sterling silver hoop on which the silver piece turns freely.

The material is precious metal clay "Art Clay Silver". See below for more info.

You can wear the earrings as pendants also, just replace the hoop with a cord.
Keep one, give one as present.

Size is approximately 30x 30mm, hoops diameter the same.
These earrings are also available in a smaller size, 25mm from one tip to the opposite one and 20mm hoops. Or in the size you would like. Custom-made just for you! Please contact me re pricing for a custom made pair.

Usually the earrings get a hallmark for Fine Silver (999FS) on the back. If you would like to wear the tapa earrings with the plain side too please indicate this when you order the earrings as I then will omit the hallmark!

Please allow 8- 10 days for me to make your special pair of Tapa Earrings
A special gift for a special person!

About precious metal clay:
It is a RECYCLING product made in Japan. These guys know what they are doing! Finest silver particles are reclaimed from metal-containing waste products like x-ray films, photographic waste, cell phones, computers etc. Yes, parts of your old computer monitor could be in there!
