Northwest Flame

All of our cork + wood earrings are interactive. The Northwest Collection interactive experience includes an eclectic, curated Spotify playlist showcasing many of the phenomenal female artists of the Pacific Northwest, including: Brandi Carlile, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Neko Case, Vaudeville Etiquette, and Alice Stuart.

You can also listen to a guided meditation designed to help you feel connected, witnessed, and nurtured.

Additionally, you’ll get to learn about a badass woman of history, find out where the wood came from, enjoy inspirational quotes, and more.  We’ll continue to add to your experience over time, creating opportunities to grow and experience the world in different ways.

Wood: English Walnut (color varies from dark chocolate brown to coffee with cream tones)

 

Metal: Sterling Silver

 

Inlay: Cork (color and tone varies, may be different than appears on your screen)

 

Dimensions: 2" x .875"

All of our earrings are approximately 1/8 inch thick.
 

Wood: All of our jewelry is made from wood sourced from small urban sawmills, primarily English Walnut from Urban Wood Rescue in Sacramento, CA. Typically, when trees are removed from urban areas, the logs get sent to the landfill. We work with urban sawmills to make sure that beautiful wood from those logs doesn’t go to waste! Our wood starts as large live-edge slabs, we mill them into thin sheets ourselves, then sand, laser cut/engrave, and finish the earrings by hand.

 

Ear wires: Our ear wires are hand bent using 22-gauge sterling silver headpins.

 

Inlay: The beautiful colored inlays are made from cork fabric. Cork is a sustainable product made from the bark of a specific type of oak tree. We source our cork fabric directly from manufacturers in Portugal and small resellers in the USA.

 

Care: Avoid getting your earrings wet (even when finished, wood tends to move and twist when it gets saturated). Also, because we use sterling silver for our ear wires, you may see some tarnishing over time. Just wipe them down with a polishing rag and they’ll look good as new.
