About Silver Forest Jewelry: Founded over thirty years ago, Silver Forest started selling its distinctive jewelry at craft shows throughout the Northeast. We are widely credited with developing the first casual earring line. Today, Silver Forest jewelry can be found in retailers throughout the United States and Canada. Silver Forest jewelry is hand crafted in Bellows Falls, Vermont.

Earwires are surgical steel or surgical steel with a 18k gold overlay. 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. Stones as a rule are genuine semi-precious. We also use glass beads, natural materials, and genuine Austrian Crystal to accent our jewelry.

Metals in our jewelry consist of raw brass or copper elements. Each shape or disk is, cut and rolled out with our propriety textures. We use scores of different textures and over 1000 shapes. All of our jewelry is Lead free and Cadmium free. The gold tone finish is a tarnish resistant 18k gold over brass, the silver tone finish is a tarnish resistant rhodium over brass, and the copper finish is a rose gold over brass. All of our jewelry is soldered together, never glued. This creates a slight variation in every piece, which gives the ambiance of wearable art.

There are three Color processes, which are used in the finishing of our jewelry. It is important to note that there will be slight color variations in the jewelry due to the different textures on the metal and how each process adheres to a particular piece of metal. The ceramic color process is a heat baked color process that creates depth to each piece. The colors are opaque and because the finish is baked, the ceramic will last longer than the paint processes. The second color process is a hand painted color wash. The wash medium is a special formulation containing acrylic and lacquer, which creates a very durable translucent finish. This color process is used to reveal the texture of the metal and have a sueded silk appearance. The third color process is epoxy, which gives the metal a glossy sheen.
