The Corks of Nature

Cork Oak Hoop Earrings


These Estancia cork earrings were inspired by the uninhibited energy that flows through us as we spend a day sipping on the with the juicy elixir of the gods. Natural corks will be a thing of nostalgia as an increasing number of wineries opt for screw tops and cheaper synthetic closures. 

Corks are harvested from the Cork Oak. The harvesting of cork does not harm the tree, in fact, no trees are cut down during the harvesting process. Only the bark is extracted, and a new layer of cork regrows, making it a renewable resource. 



I Dig Crystals' Estancia Hoop Earrings can also be seen in the "Red Red Wine" showcase on Bonanza:
