Product Description
This is a cuff earring inspired by Medusa from Greek mythology.
(Do you have your cartilage pierced? I can put a pierced upper post on this earring. See info below.)
This snake-themed earring connects from a pierced metal post at the lobe to a slip on cuff higher on the ear (the cuff is silver-plated and 6mm wide).
The chain is made from yellow (a gold color), green, and black enameled copper rings. I twist and cut the wire for the earrings myself, so there are some places in the copper rings where the copper color shows through where it was cut. It isn't very noticeable, though, but this is just a heads up so you know.
Dangling from the earring are a Tibetan silver snake charm, a plastic gold colored bead, a green glass bead, and a plastic black bead. The entire earring is 4" (10.2 cm) long from the ear cuffl to the bottom of the snake, and is about 2" (5.1 cm) long from the cuff to the bottom earring post.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
I love Greek mythology, so I figured it was time to make an earring to fit that theme. ;)
Materials Used
copper wire, metal earring post, silver plated ear cuff, glass bead, pewter snake charm, plastic beads
More Info
Note: the mannequin's head and ear are smaller than a human's, so the cuff part looks kind of awkward. Sorry about that!
----------------------------------------------------
This is for a single earring that can be worn in either ear.
Do you have your cartilage pierced?
For no additional cost, I can switch out the cuff with a pierced post like most of the other earrings in my shop have.
Here's an example:

If you want this, please contact me via Artfire or send me an email at merigreenleaf[at]gmail.com
----------------------------------------------------
I can also switch out pierced posts with Sterling Silver ones, but that would cost extra- please contact me if you are interested in that and I will let you know what the price would be.
If you'd like something different, just let me know! I love making custom orders. :)
