COCA COLA / COKE BOTTLE GLASS & STERLING SILVER HOOP EARRINGS BY KATHLEEN PLATE

Description

Neat new old stock recycled Coke bottle glass hoop earrings:
-  In unworn condition on original informative display card
-  Handcrafted by artist Kathleen Plate in Atlanta Georgia under the name "Smart Glass, Inc"
-  These were a part of Coca Cola's Connect the Planet program that offered recycled and repurposed products from artisans focused on contributing to the health of our planets
-  Has the most beautiful light aqua blue green color with a wavy texture - the glass was individually selected and cut insuring that each piece is an original work of art
-  All findings are sterling silver, per the card
-  Ready and waiting for your ears, collection, and/or gift giving
ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA
=  True original authentic vintage piece.  I am estimating that this is early 2000's in age - the card has a date of 2006
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL
=  925 grade or sterling silver and recycled coke bottle glass hoops
CLOSURE/CLASP
=  French wire or fish hook backs for pierced ears
MARKS
=  None that I could find on the actual earrings - all information taken directly from the card
MEASUREMENTS
= The recycled glass hoops are about 1" in diameter each - total length from the top arch of the hook to the very bottom of the glass hoop is aprox 1 3/4"  - including the secondary sterling silver loop
US RING SIZE
=  X
WEIGHT
=  Both earrings off the card are 5.6 grams on my scale
CONDITION
=  Great condition for the age - no damage or quirks to mention.  The earrings are in new, unworn condition.  The paperboard display card does show it's age from hanging around all of these years - there are minor mars, wear, discoloration, etc - see pics.
Please view & enlarge all photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear.  Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged.  I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.  Utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.  Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
, PLEASE READ:  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you -
just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free
.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)
NO WORRIES -
SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
