Bright and bold, CASTLECLIFF’s Cora Earrings combine vintage wood bead drops and handcrafted brass studs for a sun faded retro vibe. All of CASTLECLIFF’s earrings are cast of certified 100% recycled brass via the lost wax casting method, combined with upcycled & vintage materials and finished with a sterling silver post. Proudly handmade by artisans in NYC. CASTLECLIFF Jewelry is designed, hand-made and hand-finished in NYC. Due to this process each piece is unique and any slight variations are a sign of the hands that created it. Our C R A F T E D pieces are cast in raw brass in NYC. We avoid the often environmentally toxic process of gold plating whenever possible and therefore many of our pieces will achieve a rich patina with wear. We love the look, but to maintain your piece’s original finish, buff with the enclosed polishing cloth and store in the enclosed anti-tarnish tissue after use.   For a non toxic deeper clean we suggest applying white vinegar with a soft cloth (a mix of baking soda and lemon juice will also do the trick).   Rinse with warm water and dry immediately.  Avoid contact with stones and hollow beads. As with all costume jewelry, last on and first off is the rule.  Keep your jewelry clean, dry and away from lotions, chemicals and perfumes.
