Product Information

Ask this Vendor a Question

The leaf earrings measure 6.5cm from the top of the hook (2.5″), and are 1.5cm at the widest point (0.5″).
Perfect for the eco-aware individual, they will make a sustainably elegant gift, or treasure to keep!

They are a beautiful translucent white, due to the base milk bottle plastic material they are up cycled from.

The simple leaf has transformed into an image of long-lasting elegance throughout the periods of jewellery history.

Leaves hold symbolism in many cultures, but in general, they symbolise fertility and growth. The green leaves of spring and summer give hope, renewal and revival. – We could all do with some of that!

My aim for this collection, was to:
- Reduce waste (or remove it from the waste cycle), and
- Reuse a product, by
- Repurposing it into something new
The outcome was this R3 collection! All of the earrings available in this selection were inspired by nature, are up cycled using NZ plastic milk bottles, and – ultimately - reduce plastic waste!

Each pair of repurposed milk bottle earrings are attached to handmade earring hooks crafted from 100% recycled Sterling Silver wire in my garden-outlook Auckland home studio.

I'm now also donating 10% of my sales to Forest & Bird in NZ!

All items are made to order, so please allow me 1-3 working days to create your jewellery specifically and especially for you.

Please remember that as all my items are handmade, no item is identical, and there will be natural variations in shape and composition - even within a pair. This is not seen as a fault.

All purchases from Curlicue NZ Jewellery come lovingly and sustainably wrapped. Please let me know if you would like a free gift tag.
