These earrings blend darker green sari silk ribbon with lighter green upcycled silk ribbon. The sari silk ribbon comes from cottage industry workers in India who use leftovers from manufacturing to earn a living. The upcycled silk comes from an item I purchased from a local hospice thrift shop.
NOTE: You will not receive the exact item shown, but will receive a pair as much like them as humanly possible. If you want to see photos of your exact pair before ordering, convo me. THIS IS THE LAST PAIR I WILL MAKE LIKE THIS - the puffy flower filigree at the bottom is no longer available. Also, the tiny crystals may be slightly different - same size and shape, different color, such as clear, rather than gray.
I hand painted a green distressed finish on the bead cap and added a dangle of chain, glass beads, a vintage silver plate flower bead, an antiqued brass bicone bead, an antiqued brass finish steel filigree bead, small round bead, and bell, and a lovely filigree flower bead at the bottom.
The ear wires are steel with an antiqued brass finish. I smoothed the tips of the ear wires for your comfort and safety when inserting them.
Measurements (approx.):
Earrings are 4 1/4" from the top of the ear wire, and flare out about 1 3/4".
They weigh about 1/5 ounce each.
Ships by USPS First Class mail.
