Lunar Serenade

Howling at the moon

Wolf earrings – handmade and recycled sterling silver shilling coin.

These very nice little howling wolves and full moon stud type fitting earrings have been recycled from an English sterling silver shilling coin. These coins are unwanted by coin collectors due to wear marks from being used to buy and sell over one hundred years ago.

Rather than let them simply be melted down for the silver content I absolutely love coming up with designs and ideas to transform them into something desirable. By doing this the historical details are retained, simultaneously adding depth, interest and intrigue to the design.

The pair of wolves and full moon have been individually hand cut, carved and engraved from the silver shilling with a traditional jewellers hand tools.  The unusual triplet of earrings allows you to wear a traditional pair of howling wolves or an individual, original asymmetrical variation of wolf and moon.  It also means you have a spare in case the worst occurs!

Each set is completely unique, contemporary, ethical and beautiful. They are presented complete with a sterling silver ‘off-cut’ which beautifully demonstrate the origins of the wolves and connect them to their interesting, recycled material history.

sizes approx : 11mm * 11 mm

  1. Deanna Nicholson (verified owner) –

    So much detail on something so small! As with everything Les makes these are stunning and beautifully crafted – a miniature work of art. The studs are really secure too with three sided butterflies so I can be confident they will be safe wherever I go. Thank you again Hairy Growler – I am “over the moon” with these!
