Light weight and ultra realistic, these tentacles look super sweet bursting forth from your ears! With a tentacle to balance at the back, these guys are way lighter than they look! I wear mine all the time and get a lot of commentary on them with no need to have stretched ears. The fake gauges simply click together, the back of the earring is in the opposing side of the tentacle and they open in the middle! Be sure to slide pieces together straight, no need to bend or twist!
Want a softer less bold look for the day, have an office event or need to dress down? Use a regular earring back and just have the swirling cute front tentacle hinting at your ocean love! Add the back for the dramatic look and go out on the town!
Soft pearly metallics meet and mingle in these sublime tentacle fake gauges. Shimmering Gold, Green, Teal, and Blue meet with just a tiny hint of Purple, creating a vivid and rich color palette that's sure to dazzle.
Because these are hand made, no two pairs are exactly alike, so please allow for some variations in textures and tones!
All fake gauges are on Titanium posts! Titanium is the most hypoallergenic material for jewelry, making these safe for sensitive ears!
The small pairs are roughly 1.5" by 1.75" inches and weigh about 4 grams each, which is less than the weight of a nickel!
The Bold size measure approximately 2 x 3" and are roughly 6 grams each, which is just about the weight of a quarter!

Facts about Octopuses -
They have been found to play with a ‘toy’ and to have individual responses and individual temperaments, with some scientists believing they have individual personalities.
All octopuses are venomous, but only the small blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans.
There are around 300 recognized octopus species, which is over one-third of the total number of known cephalopod species.
Octopuses have four pairs of arms.
Octopuses have three hearts. Two pump blood through each of the two gills, while the third pumps blood through the body.
When discovered, an octopus will release a cloud of black ink to obscure its attacker's view, giving it time to swim away. The ink even contains a substance that dulls a predator's sense of smell, making the fleeing octopus harder to track.
Fast swimmers, they can jet forward by expelling water through their mantles. And their soft bodies, with no internal or external skeleton, can squeeze into impossibly small cracks and crevices where predators can't follow.
