Plastic-free packaging with biodegradable parcel tape and card letter boxes
I use recycled sterling silver for my handmade jewellery from suppliers based in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham or Hatton Garden in London.
Please note that I will only be posting parcels within the UK at the moment.
This design was based on the Towanroath engine house near St Agnes, part of Wheal Coates mine on the north-west coast of Cornwall.
You can see photos of the original structure on my blog at:

I found these buildings incredibly inspiring. If you have a favourite engine house, perhaps near where you live in Cornwall, please contact me and I can design a specific pair of earrings just for you!
This is a custom-made item and cannot be returned unless faulty.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Full description
These adorable little handmade tin mines were inspired by my recent trip to Cornwall (and my avid reading of the Poldark series of books by Winston Graham!) They are constructed from sterling silver and finished with an oxidised and hammered texture to give the look and charm of the mine engine houses still standing along the Cornish coastline.
They have 11mm sterling silver earring stud posts and the pair pictured is ready to ship.
Each tiny tin mine is formed using traditional silversmithing techniques making them each unique in their own little way. They measure approximately 10 by 8 mm and are three dimensional cubes standing approximately 6mm out from the end of the stud.
