After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it is preserved and/or sealed to ensure its longevity and protection. Each and every item is made by hand by owners Nathan and Ali, therefore, some small imperfections or variations may be present in your design. To us, this only adds to the beauty and rarity of your particular piece. 1888 Design does not claim ownership over the design or production of any vintage, antique, or otherwise repurposed object used in the creation of our jewelry.

Each 1888 Design piece contains unique elements of symbolic or historic value that mean something different to us all. Let's break down what the elements in this design are

Silver Ingot

An ingot is a term that is used for a non-specific amount of silver that has been melted into a rough shape and weight for easy storage and use later, contrasting the silver bar which is always the same shape and formed into specific weights.

Silver

This lustrous and malleable metal has been a part of the human story for millennia. As early as 3000 BCE there were large-scale hard rock silver mines found in Anatolia, which is now modern-day Turkey, that supplied the surrounding city-states. However, the story of silver can be traced to as early as 5000 BCE when it was mined alongside ancient copper deposits on a smaller scale. Similar to gold silver doesn’t rust or tarnish like other metals and can be smithed into beautiful jewelry, vessels for carrying or drinking from, and has innumerable other uses. It exhibits the highest thermal and electrical conductivity and reflectivity of any metal. In the Americas, silver was commonly repurposed from Spanish coins as source material for Native American jewelry makers.

FAQ

Can I resize this item?

If a product page does not have a drop down option for size selections, or if the product description does not state a need for the customer to input their desired size in the notes section of their purchase, then we are NOT able to resize the item. Some exceptions can be made with chain lengths. Please reach out to us at inspire@1888design.com and we will try to accommodate as best we can.

Are your earrings hypoallergenic?

All earring posts are made out of sterling silver, stainless steel, or brass metals unless otherwise stated in the product description. Sterling silver and stainless steel are both hypoallergenic metals. Brass can react differently among different skin types, so we advise knowing your body's tolerance to brass prior to purchasing earrings with brass ear posts. Again, all metals used are stated in each product's description tab.
