Recycled sterling silver shillings
I have used a pair of lovely Georgian silver shillings as the raw material for these unique earrings. I have freehand sketched the owls on to the flattened silver coins. I then carefully hand engrave the feathers, stars, eyes, everything! I then chop them out with my favourite little jewellers saw.
The little moon and star are cut from an 1960’s threepence ‘thrupney bit’ coin. Complete with the finest sterling silver earwires.
Each pair is completely unique, contemporary, ethical and beautiful. They are presented complete with the sterling silver ‘off-cuts’ which beautifully demonstrate the origins of the owls and connect them to their interesting, recycled material history.
Sizes : Approx 22mm * 18mm

My new favourite earrings! Since my husband discovered HG jewellery, I have received some gorgeous gifts, and these are stunning. They match my new Arianrhod Owl Goddess necklace and I love them to bits.
I also love that they’re made by recycling old sterling silver coins; it’s a clever way of making each piece utterly unique.
