It connects from the earlobe to the upper cartilage of the ear, with a pierced post earring at the lobe and a cuff at the cartilage- this just slips onto the ear, no cartilage piercing required!
(Do you have your cartilage pierced? I can switch in a pierced post; see info below.)
The ear-piece is made using green colored enameled copper wire and bright aluminum wire (the silver color). I twist and cut the wire for the earrings myself, so there are some places in the copper rings where the copper color shows through where it was cut. It isn't very noticeable, though, but this is just a heads up so you know.
At the end of the ear-piece are a light green wooden leaf bead, a round green stone bead, and a flat green stone bead. The earlobe part is a silver colored metal post earring, and there's a silver-plated 6mm wide ear cuff at the top. The entire ear-piece is 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) long from top earring ball to bottom bead, and is 2" (5.1 cm) long from earring post to cuff.
Note: No two of the flat stone beads (the bottom bead on this earring) are exactly the same size and shape, so this will vary from earring to earring; for example the first photo is a different earring than the one in the other three photos, so that stone is slightly different. The earring I currently have made is the one in the last three photos.

This is for a single ear piece that can be worn in either ear.
Like all the earrings in my shop, I can switch out the bottom post with a clip on earring and/or replace the top cuff with a pierced post for no additional cost; just let me know in the "notes to seller" field when checking out, or contact me via Etsy if you want this option.
I'll gladly accommodate any type of piercing (or lack-thereof) that you have. :)
----------------------------------------------------
I can also switch out these posts with Sterling Silver posts, but that would cost extra- please contact me via Etsy if you're interested in that and I'll let you know what the price would be.
I'm open to custom orders, so if you'd like something different, just let me know!
