Large Marrakesh Disc Earrings

4 x 2 x 2cm, 4g (per earring)  

sterling silver

The Marrakesh disc earrings are part of the Marrakesh series and have proven to be one of my most popular pieces. Intricate and lacy on the front, open to a beautiful oxidized dome on the back, then brushed with a matte finish on the exterior. The colours achieved with oxidization are truly remarkable - blues, purples and pinks. 

Care instructions: The colourful oxidization on the interior is a delicate patina and should not be cleaned, polished, or worn in the shower. The colour will last years if the jewellery is kept properly!
