Product Description
This connecting cartilage chain earring is aquatically aerial- the blue and silver and wing appear angelic as well as watery.
This is a single cartilage chain earring (or ear piece/ear cuff) that connects from the earlobe to the upper cartilage of the ear, with a pierced post earring on either end of the blue and silver chain.
(Do you lack piercings? I can make them with non-pierced cuffs, too! See info below.)
The ear-piece is made using enameled copper wire in two shade of blue and bright aluminum wire (the silver color). 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.
At the end of the ear-piece are an acrylic blue, clear, and silver bead and a Tibetan silver feathered wing charm. The earring parts are silver-colored metal post earrings. The entire ear-piece is 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) long from top earring ball to bottom bead, and is just over 2" (5.1 cm) long from earring post to earring post.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
The name for this earring came from the song Skyswimmer by one of my favorite bands, Enter the Haggis. After making this earring I realized I couldnt name it anything else since its aerial in almost an aquatic way. The colors and wing charm also make this look rather angelic.
I came up with the idea for this style earring because I have multiple piercings in both ears and wanted something uniquely fantasy for them- what I ended up with was this style of elven/fae earring.
Materials Used
copper wire, aluminum wire, earring posts, acrylic bead, metal wing charm
More Info
This earring can be worn in either ear.
----------------------------------------------------
This is for a single earring. For no additional cost, I can switch out the bottom post with a clip on earring post and/or replace the top post with a cuff like this earring:

If you want this, please contact me via Artfire or send me an email at merigreenleaf@gmail.com
----------------------------------------------------
I can also switch out these posts with Sterling Silver posts, 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.
I am open to custom orders (I love them!), so if you would like something different, just let me know!
