One-of-a-kind handmade jewelry. Do you love it?
I am a big fan of Etsy and know how much effort all the handmade work is! I used to make jewelry during a phase in my life, and let me tell you it is not a trivial process! It takes a lot of equipment, skill and let’s not forget patience and time!
Since then, I’ve mostly quit. So, I have a lot of respect for those that make jewelry by hand. Especially when it is so professional, like something you would see in a jewelry store display case. One shop I recently connected with is Eluna Jewelry.
About Eluna Jewelry
From flashy wrapped crystal teardrops to simple hoops in all sizes, Eluna Jewelry has a lovely selection. April, the shop owner, has had a fascination with stones from an early age. From the fascination, she’s grown her talents into a Etsy shop and small business.
She taught herself to wire wrap stones and cut stones herself – so that she could create more unique jewelry! Did I mention she is a mom too? What a superwoman!
She says jewelry making is not only her hobby, but a retreat from the ever spiraling chaos that life brings. She truly loves making one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, and hopes that her customers enjoy the jewelry as much as she enjoys making it.
She has an image of some of the process on her website. How cool!
About Small Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings
These hoop earrings are not your typical – actually they are backwards reversed! They slide in through the back of your ear, circling all the way through, appearing to look like full loops, when in reality they aren’t! They are clasp-less! So simple and creative.
These completely hand forged earrings are offered in four different hammered metals; copper, sterling silver, 14K gold filled, and niobium. The gold filled hoops are offered in two sizes, the other metals are offered in four sizes; 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 inch diameters.
Eluna Jewelry has been selling this style on Etsy since 2009!
My small clasp-less hoops shown below retail for $15.00.
About My Experience
These reverse hoop earring are so neat! I loved that I hardly knew they were on. They weren’t heavy in my ears (weigh less than a penny), and with no backing they were crazy comfortable. There was no tightness, pinching or poking from the back – they are completely clasp-less and back-less. What a cool idea. I typically never sleep in earrings, because if I do, I wake up regretting it from the back poking me in the neck all night. These earrings you can actually sleep in! And I did last night!
I love a simple and classy jewelry collection, and these are a lovely addition.
