Handcrafted sterling silver earrings formed from recycled sterling
silver using vintage botanical dies and a 20 ton hydraulic press —
dangle, post, and hoop styles with rich three-dimensional texture
found nowhere else. Made to order in our Michigan studio.
Some jewelry techniques can't be replicated by machine or mass
production — and this is one of them. Every earring in this collection
is formed from recycled USA-sourced sterling silver pressed through
vintage dies using a 20 ton hydraulic press. The dies themselves are
treasures — reproductions from the 1800s through the 1980s, each one
carrying botanical and floral motifs with a depth and dimensionality
that can only come from the pressure of metal on metal. The result
is a pair of earrings with rich three-dimensional texture, a satin
finish, and a story built into every surface. No two pressings are
exactly alike. A piece of jewelry history made wearable — and made
to be worn every day.
The Process Behind the Piece
Each earring begins as recycled USA-sourced sterling silver —
refined, rolled, and prepared for pressing. The silver is then
formed under the weight of a 20 ton hydraulic press using vintage
botanical dies that capture every detail of the original mold in
sharp, three-dimensional relief. The result is a surface texture
that feels as remarkable as it looks — botanical detail pressed
permanently into sterling silver by a process that honors both
the material and the history of the die.
Recycled Silver. Vintage Dies. Michigan Made.
Every piece in this collection is made from recycled and refined
USA-sourced sterling silver — a material choice that honors both
craft and sustainability. The vintage dies used in this collection
are reproductions spanning the 1800s through the 1980s, preserving
botanical motifs that might otherwise be lost to history. Pressed,
finished, and made to order in our small Michigan studio.
What You'll Find in This Collection
Vintage Die Dangle Earrings
Delicate sterling silver dangle earrings pressed from vintage
botanical dies — lightweight, three-dimensional, and full of the
kind of surface detail that rewards a closer look. Each pair
carries the motif of its die in rich, permanent relief — a
wearable piece of botanical history.
Vintage Die Post Earrings
Simple sterling silver post earrings pressed from vintage
botanical dies. Minimal in form, remarkable in detail — a subtle,
distinctive everyday pair with depth and texture that sets them
apart from anything you'll find in a commercial jewelry case.
Vintage Die Hoop Earrings
Sterling silver hoop earrings incorporating vintage botanical
die pressed detail. The clean line of a classic hoop with the
textured surface of a pressed vintage motif — a distinctive
combination of modern wearability and historical craft.
A Gift Worth Discovering
Vintage die reproduction earrings are the kind of gift that
requires explanation — and that explanation becomes part of the
gift. The story of the recycled silver, the vintage dies, the
hydraulic press, and the Michigan studio where every pair is
made gives the piece a context and meaning that mass-produced
jewelry simply cannot offer. A gift for the jewelry lover who
appreciates craft, history, and the beauty of a process done
right.
