ELK - Sten Earring - Powder Blue/Rust

The Sten Earrings are a super lightweight, geometric style crafted from sustainably-sourced timber. The stud design is made from two timber pieces joined with a small section of chain, allowing for just enough movement to make these a fun and dynamic addition to your wardrobe.

MATERIAL

Wood

This jewelry piece was hand-made by skilled artisans in the Philippines, using responsibly sourced timber and other carefully selected materials. Each wooden bead is hand turned and custom dyed, followed by natural wax polish for surface protection.

The timber was grown in the Philippines in sustainably managed plantations that we have been able to visit to learn more about where our timber comes from.

MAKER

This piece is 100% handmade in Cebu, Philippines by a family-owned workshop called Earthworks who have collaborated with ELK since 2004. Crafted from sustainable plantation timber, each bead is hand cut, shaped, dyed, and then polished with a natural wax-based product and the finished pieces are extremely light. Christine the owner runs an incredible business whose team is made up mostly of women. They have wonderful skills, training, and health program initiatives in place which you can learn more about here. For our timber jewellery we have managed to trace our supply chain back to the farm. With Christine’s assistance, we have mapped all materials, trims, and third-party contributors.
