Silver Forest jewelry is enchanting, playful, filled with color, texture and movement. HANDCRAFTED IN USA - Our jewelry is made using quality materials and lovingly handcrafted in Southern Vermont. ARTISTIC- We carefully select beautiful stones, textured metals and colors for a unique look. HIGHEST QUALITY - Our earwires are surgical steel or surgical steel with a 18k gold overlay. All of our jewelry is soldered together, never glued. FOR SENSITIVE EARS- Our earwires are nickel-free; as there is no nickel used in the plating process. This is a significant benefit to our metal sensitive customers who can buy our earrings with confidence. GENUINE STONES AND CRYSTALS- We use genuine semi-precious stones. We also use glass beads, natural materials, and genuine Austrian Crystal to accent our jewelry. Denim friendly and casual - Silver Forest is not a trend, it is a lifestyle
