'Gossamer Athena' Ethical Hand Beaten Steel Earrings

Our pretty olive leaf earrings are subtle and lighweight, the perfect addition to every capsule wardrobe and a beautiful gift for a dear friend. Made from sustainable stainless steel, we craft the beautiful hammered texture by beating the steel on a series of anvils to achieve a unique twinkling finish.

Our earrings come beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, tied up with pretty twine and posted using recyclable, plastic free packaging. Ready to gift, the ideal size to pop straight through the letterbox.

The Gossamer collection is inspired by delicate, woodland forms, the half light of dawn and dusk. 'Athena' is named after the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, handicraft and practical insight. She is associated with good counsel, spinning, weaving and handicrafts. She was the daughter of Zeus, extremely powerful, and is associated with olive trees. Our olive sprig earrings just had to be named for her.

These earrings are mounted onto silver plated ear wires as standard, with the additional option of solid 925 sterling silver ear wires. Both are hypoallergenic, though for super sensitive ears we recommend solid 925 sterling silver.

Should you experience irritation with any of our ear wires we will always try to help, and find replacements wherever possible.
