Granulated Heart Earrings
New to my collection are these Granulation Heart Earrings.
I love romance and the timeless symbol of love is the heart xxx this particular heart shape is deliberately offset as I loved the shape. One side of the heart has been decorated with tiny balls or granules made from melting sterling silver and soldered in place individually.
It’s an updated heart earrings for modern times that are truly beautiful. It would make the perfect gift for your loved one for Christmas, Birthday or Anniversary. They would also make a fabulous present for you, as the great Whitney Houston sang, the love we have for ourselves is the greatest love of all xxxxx
Each earring is 2.3 cm in length and 1.7 cm in diameter approximately. The earrings are finished with Sterling Silver Hooks.

Small Business
In buying a gift from Sarah Ralph Designs you are supporting a small business which I set up in 2019. All of my jewellery is made to order just for you so each piece is truly unique.
Nothing leaves my workshop until I am 100% happy with it so you are guaranteed of the highest quality workmanship and customer service.
I am based in Winchester in the heart of Hampshire and I sell exclusively online.
Hallmarking
All Stirling Silver work that is over 7.78g must be hallmarked by UK Law. This piece of jewellery is under the weight limit so is not hallmarked. Each item is stamped 925 for Sterling Silver and is also stamped with Sarah Ralph’s maker’s mark which is registered with the London Assay Office.
I stamp each item of jewellery by hand and so maybe slightly wonky, this shows your piece of jewellery is hand made just for you.
Delivery Time
I will have your chosen piece of jewellery ready for dispatch within 1-2 weeks after purchase. It may well be dispatched a lot sooner but that is the outside estimate. If you have a specific deadline please send me a message.
Your order will be sent via Royal Mail first class post and in theory should be with you 2-3 days after dispatch in the UK (apologies but currently I only ship within the UK).
Due to the current Covid situation the post can be rather unpredictable. It will be dispatched on time as I have control over that aspect. I can't control the length of time the postal service take so please give it a little more time than you would normally need to. It will be worth the wait xxx
Care Instructions
How to care for your gorgeous jewellery.
Jewellery from Sarah Ralph Designs is made from 925 Sterling Silver. This is a gorgeous precious metal that does need a little love and attention to keep it at it's best.
Sterling Silver can tarnish over time; it's inevitable with this metal. Tarnish is caused by exposure to perfumes, moisturisers, hairspray etc. these are a fact of life and can't be avoided.
Tarnish can easily be removed when it first becomes visible by cleaning your jewellery regularly with mild soap, water, a soft toothbrush and gentle drying. Also effective is cleaning with a silver cleaning cloth. I will include a cleaning cloth with your order.
Correct storage is also key. It is best to keep Sterling Silver in a cool dry place; ideally in an air tight container with an anti-tarnish strip (I will include one with your order).
To keep your silver in tip top shape I's recommend:
1. Avoid getting your jewellery wet, i.e. avoid wearing your jewellery in the shower, bath, hot tub or when swimming. Also with rings or bracelets avoid wearing them when cleaning or housework as the Sterling Silver may react with cleaning products.
2. Avoid wearing when exercising, at the gym or playing contact sports.
3. Avoid wearing your jewellery to bed.
4. Polish regularly with a lint free cloth.
5. Apply lotions, creams or perfume and allow to dry before putting your jewellery on.
6. Store each piece of jewellery separately so it isn't touching another piece. This will avoid scratching.
Sterling Silver Jewellery reacts best when it's worn, so this is the perfect excuse to wear your beautiful jewellery regularly.
Brexit
As a result of Brexit and the legalities surrounding exporting silver from the UK to the EU I regret to say I cannot accept orders from the European Union currently. I sincerely hope this will change in the future.
Please be aware that now the UK has left the EU, anyone purchasing from outside the UK may be charged customs and VAT duties as your items enter your country along with handling fees. The purchaser will be responsible for payment of these charges. These duties are set by the government of each country and are outside our control.
