About this item
These are very shiny gold recycled tin house earrings with purple windows and white roof. The design of the house is printed on the tin that I have then cut up. They are curved so the gold will reflect with movement when being worn. They have hooks made from recycled sterling silver. They measure approximately 1cm wide and 2.5cm long. The Orange Chocolate Crunch anyone? This pair of earrings is made from recycling Quality Street tins, they are gently curved to give a nice look when wearing. These measure approximately 1.5cm wide and 4.5cm long. All my tin jewellery is hand cut using a jewellery saw, this enables me to follow shapes or be more organic in the cutting rather than punched out shapes that are the same. Each piece is then filed to smooth off the edges, shaped or folded and then lacquered to protect the surfaces from scratches. I then attach sterling silver hooks. Supplied on an earring card in an organza bag. All the tin I use have had a previous life and may show some signs of this, though I am careful to use good condition tins. I don’t recommend wearing in water and clean with a soft cloth if needed.

So many tins are pretty that I feel it is a shame that they are put in cupboards or thrown away, so I make them into jewellery.
Tin are usually made from aluminium these days, however I cannot guarantee the metal content as I have not acquired it from source
