Repurposed Milk Bottle Feather Earrings with Eco Silver hooks
Light as a feather – literally! Hand cut and etched from repurposed plastic milk bottles, these environmentally friendly feather earrings are an easy wear option for any occasion. They are a beautiful translucent white, due to the base milk bottle plastic material they are up cycled from.
The feather earrings are lovely and large, and measure 10.5cm from the top of the hook to the bottom (4.1″), and are 2.5cm at the widest point (1″).
Perfect for the eco-aware individual, they will make a sustainably elegant gift, or treasure to keep!
Feathers symbolise trust, honour, strength, wisdom, power, and freedom. It is an object that is deeply revered and a sign of high honour.
My aim for this collection, was to:
- Reduce waste (or remove it from the waste cycle), and
- Reuse a product, by
- Repurposing it into something new
The outcome was this R3 collection! All of the earrings available in this selection were inspired by nature, are up cycled using NZ plastic milk bottles, and – ultimately - reduce plastic waste!
Each pair of repurposed milk bottle earrings are attached to handmade earring hooks crafted from 100% recycled Sterling Silver wire in my solar powered Auckland home studio.
I also donate 10% of my sales to Forest & Bird. :D
As with all handmade items, each piece will vary slightly in style and composition - this is not seen as a fault. What you see above is an example of what you will receive.
All Curlicue NZ jewellery items are handmade to order, therefore please allow 2-5 working days from order to shipping, to enable the creation of your piece.
It is also important to note that wire jewellery can sometimes get caught up on clothing and be pulled out of shape. In order to avoid this from happening, it is better to put them on once your (clothing) outfit is complete.
Your purchase from Curlicue NZ Jewellery will come lovingly and sustainably wrapped, ready to give or be kept as a treasure for yourself. Please let me know if you'd like a free gift tag (room for To/From + a 2-3 word handwritten message.)
If your purchase is a special gift for someone - you might like to consider my premium gift wrapping option - which includes a gorgeous mini kete (woven flax) bag. Available as an additional item in my Felt shop.
The whole gift item is then wrapped in bubble wrap to ensure its safety in transit.
Thank you for visiting Curlicue NZ :)
