Hi there--
folks are always attracted to these type earrings and don't seem to understand they are made from bottlecaps; when i tell them they are generally surprised and reply with something like,
"wow, cool i didn't realize it"
well now you know....

this is a pair of earrings that are made from steel bottlecaps of peroni beer. they are formed, folded, and textured on the cobblestones in front of my studio. the caps are securely riveted onto a sterling silver disk. the handmade chain and earwires are also sterling silver.......

there are three ornamental cross bars just above the cap: one each of bronze, sterling silver and copper.

their total length is variable and i can make them with either earhooks [pictured] or post style ear wires...

they are very light----each one weighs about 4 grams...

they are handmade with love by myself..... each pair is individually made and ships in under one week of purchase....

i've tried to take photos at several angles, under various different lighting conditions and backgrounds in order to most accurately and fully represent this piece but if you would like to see other images or have any questions just let me know...

all of my work comes packaged in either a gift box or a small cloth drawstring pouch; just tell me your preferance in the "note to buyer" during the checkout process...

i care about where I live so all my precious metals are made from
100% recycled material... 'The Harmony Line' from Hoover&Strong...

i especially like it when you purchase these particular earrings because the very first thing i do is go and have a couple of beers and collect two bottlecaps.....

thank you for your interest in my work, i appreciate it...
