Women's Metallic Sacred Cedar Hoop Earrings Sterling

These hoop earrings molded from the respectfully gathered Western Red Cedar that grew in the temperate rain forests of BC, Canada. The branch found was curved in this beautiful way. The Sacred Cedar Hoop represents the grace of the Cedar tree as a symbol of life, in a Hoop that shows the cycle of life: that we are all in this together - one human family. Wear the Sacred Cedar Hoops to remind you that you are part of the circle/hoop of life. The earrings have a right and a left, and hook closed. A portion of this sale goes to Ancient Forest Alliance who advocates for old growth trees in BC. These earrings are made of recycled sterling silver. Store them in a dry area away from moisture to avoid tarnishing. TO CLEAN Brush with an old toothbrush + toothpaste, rinse with soap + water, pat dry with a fluffy towel.. Or use a silver polishing cloth, Sunshine Cloth made in Japan is a favourite. If you have various silver pieces that need to be cleaned at once create a bath for them. In a jar combine a tablespoon of baking soda, an approximately 10cm x 10cm (4 x 4”) scrap of tinfoil and the silver jewellery. Pour boiling water in the jar. You will see the pieces touching the tinfoil slowly brighten. In about 5 minutes you have bright silver jewellery again! Rinse in water and pat dry with a towel. Colour: metallic
