Handcrafted wood and abalone earrings
These beautiful handcrafted wooden earrings are accented with natural wood and a hypnotising abalone shell. They combine eco-friendly, up-cycled wood with an ethically sourced abalone shell, making for the most eye-catching sustainable jewellery pieces.
Due to the nature of the abalone shell, the pattern on each pair of earrings may vary ever so slightly from the product imagery. This makes every handcrafted pair unique in its own right, and even more special! Intermittently inviting the light to reflect on it, a distinct rainbow-esque reflection is produced.
The wooden element of the earrings is sanded smooth and carefully finished to preserve the beauty of each unique piece of wood. The wood is then treated with a natural, weatherproof, and eco-friendly wax/oil to give it a beautiful lustre.
The earrings are lead and nickel free. We've also tested them ourselves to make sure each pair is lightweight, durable, wonderfully comfortable, and of course looks great too. The metal hoops are hypoallergenic and are made from stainless steel or a copper alloy. The metal is treated with a special lacquer to prevent oxidation.
Size and weight: approx. 27 mm diameter and 11g. Drop is approx. 5cm.

Care instructions for the wooden part of our earrings
We recommend using a food grade mineral oil once a month during dry months (using during winter months). If you live in an area with year around dry climate, we recommend application monthly.
Simply dip a Q-tip into the mineral oil, and apply sparingly to the wood gently. This prevents the wood from drying out, and keeps your accessory looking fresh and crisp.
Care instructions for the metal part of our earrings
The metal used in our earrings is either stainless steel or a copper alloy. Both metals are hypoallergenic, and all of our earrings are lead and nickel free.
Our earrings are built to last and the metal used is treated with a special lacquer to prevent oxidation (a natural chemical reaction which can cause skin to go green, when excessive moisture is present).
If you keep your earrings dry, clean and in good condition there should not be any green markings on your skin. Please do not swim or bathe in them to ensure they look their best and preserve their beauty. We have many customers who have had our earrings for many years, and we gave never received any complaints about any green markings on skin.
