A request by Archana from Berlin, Deutschland
Dear Urban Change Lab Team, I’d like two silver earrings.
The Journey of Creating two silver earrings
Negotiation & Planning
Hello Archana, I have seen your request, any details I should know about the jewellery apart from the fact that it should be silver?
Hello Archana,
I'd love to make an offer for your request. I have been briefed about your request and understand you want pure silver.
I work with pure silver and the material itself is a bit pricy. I've indicated the cost of the earrings for both pairs. Are there any more details I should know about the jewellery apart from the fact that it should be silver and one of each from the pictures you've posted?
Regards,
Wanjiru

Dear Wanjiru,
yes, it only need to be silver, all other aspects are fine with me.
Could you make two of each model?
With kind regards
Archana
Hello Archana,
Yes we will use Pure silver only on your order, just to clarify when you say two of each model, you mean two pairs of each design yes? So for example if we were to give your hoops names,(crisscross hoops and the ball hoops-the one with a ball at the top)
you would like 2 pairs of the crisscross hoops and 2 pairs of the ball hoop yes? So four pairs of earrings?
Let me know if I've got this right,
Wanjiru.
