Earrings hand-formed from anodized aluminum which I have dyed a warm orange, they hang from hypoallergenic niobium wire and are accented by slender two-toned green leaves that can swivel around. Anodizing is a three-step process that allows me to permanently dye aluminum a wide range of luminous colors. It also strengthens and protects the surface of the metal. It does not tarnish or rub off. It is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof.
Measurements: 7/8 of an inch wide and a total length of 1 and 3/4 inches.

Measurements: 3/8 of an inch wide and a total length of 1 and 3/8 inches, drop length 1 inch.
