Seahorse Earrings

Description

A matched pair of copper wire wrapped seahorses to wear on your ears!

I took a break from the seahorse tutorial I am working on to make these fun little earrings. The teal and green seed beads look so nice together, and the green cubic zirconia briolettes I used for the dorsal fins add even more sparkle. I coiled the bottom of the hand forged sterling ear wires with copper wire to blend them with the copper of the seahorses. The seahorses themselves measure just under 2 inches, and with the long ear wires, the total length of the earrings is 2-3/4 inches. They will arrive in a gift box , with the artist's card.

*** 10% of the proceeds from the sale of this seahorse will be donated to the Project Seahorse, which is working to protect seahorses and their habitats. You can find out more about them here:
