B. Parker Rowan Earrings

Birdie Parker Rowan Earrings

BIRDIE PARKER DESIGNS: Handcrafted jewelry to perfectly accessorize your favorite knitting, crocheting or fiber arts project! Lightweight with plenty of playful movement, these earrings are a way to show your crafty side even when the temperature doesn't call for hand knits.

The ROWAN has a sterling silver post earring finding and features a slender stockinette stitch column suspended from a silver hoop. It measures 2 1/4", and while long, is still lightweight and eye-catching without being overpowering.

All Birdie Parker creations are available in rich copper, warm brass or satin-finished sterling silver. The patterns are etched into the surface of the material using an electro-etching technique. Each shape is then cut out by hand using a jeweler's saw, and refined using hand files and sandpaper. Lastly, a light patina is applied to add depth to the etchings and make the pattern pop, and sealed with a light coat of wax.


Care Instructions:
The majority of Birdie Parker pieces are treated with a patina to enhance the etched designs. Silver, copper and brass will slowly darken over time due to exposure to air, taking on a richer hue. The best way to clean your pieces is to gently buff with a clean, soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, dirt, residue, and oils. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or jewelry cleaners as these can remove the patina on your piece. When not in use, store your piece in a cool dry place such as a ziplock bag, along with the enclosed anti-tarnish strip.

Vitreous enamel is glass and can crack if handled improperly. Take care to not drop or apply force to the pieces.

It is recommended to remove your jewelry before swimming or showering. Alcohols such as perfume or hairspray can discolor or mar the surface so please take care when applying.

Due to the handcrafted process, there may be variations in the color and patinas from the photographs. I make every effort to produce photos that accurately represent the items, but colors may vary in person. The etching and enameling processes are inexact techniques and while I strive for perfection, there will be signs of the handcrafted process visible in all of my pieces and as such, no two items will be alike and therefore, truly unique.
