the Freeform looper necklace — created organically from leftover and recycled sterling + fine silver. All silver is melted down and bonded back together while the large gap in the middle is hand forged using a pick while the silver is hot and malleable. I love that each of these pieces always turns out unique from one another — they each offer their own organic shape as if the silver has just been pulled from the earth 🤎⚒️
*This piece has been lightly oxidized to darken any natural recessions // stamping // marring in the handcrafted process with the hopes to show detail and add a bit of depth. The backside of each piece is stamped with a bear/ “925” as my start-up makers mark - to symbolize that Halibou started here in the Adirondacks! The 925 is to certify authenticity of sterling silver.

1. Silver: Every piece of Jewelry from Halibou Studio is handcrafted with a combination between fine + sterling silver. Over time, with exposure to different elements, the silver will begin to tarnish. To restore the shine of the silver you can use a sunshine cloth to quickly hand polish your piece.
2. Stones: Depending on the stone of your piece, it can very well change color over time when exposed to water, perspiration, heat, lotions, soap, makeup + more. This is especially true with genuine, natural turquoise. Some folks don’t mind the change of color and love wearing their piece through it all. If you would like the stone to hold its “original” colors, remove the jewelry before swimming, washing the dishes, showering, etc.
All sales are final - though if there are any issues or concerns that you have, please let me know! It is my job to ensure you are happy with your piece.
