Product Description
This black and green cartilage chain earring was inspired by my favorite dark forest of Mirkwood in "The Lord of the Rings".
This is one earring that connects from the earlobe to the upper cartilage of the ear, with a pierced post earring on either end of a black and green chain.
(Lacking a lobe and/or cartilage piercing? I can make the earrings in my shop with non-pierced earrings, too! See info below.)
The ear-piece is made using enameled copper wire in green and black. I twist and cut the jump rings and make them into chains 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 a plastic leaf charm, a silver-colored metal leaf bead, a round black plastic bead, and a round green glass bead. The earring parts are two silver-colored metal post earrings. The entire ear-piece is 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) long from top earring ball to the bottom of the leaf charm, and is 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) long from earring post to earring post.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
This earring was inspired by Mirkwood in "The Lord of the Rings"; I have always been attached to that forest, even while it was filled with evil creatures. I decided to make this earring dark in green and black, but with silver and light green leaves to show that darkness never lasts.
Materials Used
copper wire, earring posts, glass bead, plastic bead, metal leaf charm, plastic leaf charm
More Info
NOTE: This earring dangles a bit to the side at the bottom because of the weight of the metal leaf bead.
