Aqua teal and shimmery recycled earrings! When we moved into our current studio space, there were old wires everywhere. We've been using these wires in an assortment of sculpture and jewelry projects, including these sparkly e-waste" earrings. E-waste is electronic waste, and we're so happy to have found such a sparkly use for some of it!
These circle post earrings are made with a recycled and handcut (not machined) artist made jewelry pigment and bio-resin, have a silver border, measure 8 mm and come on stainless steel posts.
Due to the handmade nature of these earrings and the materials used to create them, slight differences should be expected from pair to pair, and from the image shown to illustrate the earrings. Colors may look different in person than they appear on screen. This listing is for one pair of earrings, only. All other photos are included for size and material reference.
Aqua Teal Sparkle recycled E-Waste Post Earrings
These are considered costume jewelry and should be kept in dry areas when not being worn (so don't keep them in the bathroom or kitchen, don't go swimming in them, don't wear them while dancing in the rain, etc.). Spraying chemicals on or near costume jewelry may speed up the "antiquing" of metal - for instance, perfumes, hair spray, make-up setting sprays.
A portion of our proceeds are donated to environmental conservation efforts. We donate a minimum of $1,000 per year to Ocean Conservancy as part of their Business Champions for Sea Change Program. We also donate $1 to Mangrove Action Project for each package we ship. The sale of these pieces also helps to fund the direct clean-up of thousands of pieces and pounds of plastic trash, as well as helping to fund environmental education efforts.
Please see our page on sustainability for information on how you can return your old or worn out Hey Lola jewelry to us for recycling.
