Soft White Reclaimed 50mm Hoop Earrings in Silver (E276))

Due to the handmade nature of our products and the materials used to create them, there may be slight differences between the products and the images used to depict them. While we strive to use photos of the exact object you will receive, we may not always be able to do that when there are multiple versions of the same item. Colors may look different in person than they appear on screen. This listing is for the item listed in the title, only. Any other photos are included for size and material reference.

The trash plastics (plastic pigment) in Hey Lola products come from beach plastic, street plastic, donated plastics and leftover bits from my other recycled plastic jewelry and/or sculptures. In many cases, there is no current method of recycling these plastics via traditional means. All plastics are cleaned and sanitized before use. When a binding agent is needed to hold the plastics together, we use a plant based bio resin.

We pair the plastics with high quality ear wires so that your jewelry will last longer.

And if you ever decide that you've had your item long enough, you can pop it in an envelope and send it back to us - we'll recycle it again! 

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.

When not worn, pieces should be stored in a dark, cool place, away from light and air exposure. Hair spray, perfume, etc should be applied and allowed to dry before putting on jewelry. These are not out of the ordinary storage solutions, but rather, best practices for all jewelry pieces.

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. The sale of our 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 and humanitarian efforts with our local unhoused population.

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.

Items ship out within 10 days of purchase. Our items are carefully packaged using mostly recycled materials - if you find plastic bags and/or styrofoam in your order, please rest assured that those pieces are reclaimed "trash." We do not purchase new styrofoam, cardboard, shredded paper or plastic for our shipping materials - it's almost entirely reclaimed and processed by us. In the event that we do purchase paper supplies (such as wrapping paper or streamers), we purchase them secondhand from thrift stores. We do use new paper packing tape, stickers, and occasionally some plastic packing tape for box reinforcement. All of our sticker paper is then recycled back into art pieces.

IN A NUTSHELL;

Our fault? We’ll take care of it. We apologize for the inconvenience & will remedy it in an appropriate manner.

Damaged product in transit? Please email images within 10 days of receiving your product. If it was damaged in transit this timeframe allows us to initiate investigations with our carriers. All items are unique, so there may not be a direct replacement available.

Worried you won’t like it as much in person? We want you to be happy and want you to love what you ordered as much as we loved making it. We encourage you to message us with questions before ordering the product so that you can be sure of your decision. As a small business focused on sustainability (in every sense of the word), we not only discourage “buy and try” orders, but we unfortunately can’t accept these types of returns. So please ask questions - we don’t mind, we promise! We cannot accept returns without prior approval. In addition, because many of our items are one of a kind and/or limited edition, all sales are considered final.
