Old Tin Roof Julia Earrings

Yukon artist, Esther Winter has combined the warm tones of repurposed antique time with bright new metals to create this unique jewelry.

The antique tin was originally a four gallon "Imperial Gasoline Can", in the 1920's. The can was flattened and repurposed to make a roof for a log cabin. Ten years ago, the cabin had to be dismantled because is was leaning precariously, Esther saved the rood and has repurposed it a second time in this beautiful jewelry.

These earrings feature a gently curved and textured 1.3 cm disk resting on a flat 1.6 cm recycled antique tin disk. These are suspended from 3.7 cm sterling silver ear-wires.

Handcrafted in the Yukon, Canada.
