These drop earrings by Liz Willis are made using tiny handmade pins that were used to pin clothing and accessories on in a bygone era. The pins used are from mudlarking finds, and are hand stitched to the organic silver forms with silk threads to make them wearable again. Each pair of earrings are a completely unique, one-off pair.
Liz Willis is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as one of our Lovedazzle guest designers. All pieces are available to purchase until 12th January 2025.

Cleaning Instructions
The silver has been pumiced & then sealed with renaissance wax, so if pieces are wrapped up when not wearing the silver should not tarnish, but the silver can be polished with a soft silver polishing cloth if needed. The silk can be cleaned with a weak solution of laundry hand wash liquid, use it with a soft toothbrush to give a light scrub, then rinse & leave to dry naturally. An after care service is avilable if you are unsure of cleaning.
