Lady Macbeth Earrings

Description

Lady Macbeth...she's the original femme fatale. I saw this piece of rigid and sexy patent red leather, and immediately the idea of blood red daggers came to mind. These are the perfect thing to wear when you are up to no good. They are practically dripping.

These earrings are composed of two pieces of stiff patent leather (a scrap piece from my father's shoe repair shop), dyed black on the edges, and looped through handmade oxidized sterling silver hoops (the hoops were purchased through a seller on Etsy). I have enough leather for a few pairs, but once the leather is gone, so are these!

The longest leather piece is about 2 1/4". They will vary slightly with each piece, seeing as I have hand-cut them, but I think that makes each one special. Please note that the earrings may vary in length just slightly due to that fact. The hoops are 1/2" in diameter.

The earrings you see worn are my own...you will be getting a fresh, sopping wet pair of your own! Since I hand-cut every piece, your pair will be very similar, but not exactly the same.
