I decided to create these salvaged bone and large bead ear hangers! They are nice and chunky, and have a little bit more weight to them than your average earrings.
They hang on blackened iron wire frame with iron ear hooks which some people can be sensitive too. I can change these to 18 or 20 gauge in copper or titanium, (20 gauge fit standard size piercings). If you prefer copper or (titanium ear hooks for those with sensitivities), just message me at time of purchase if you'd like to change anything deals.
For decades, Ghanaians have been making wonderful large glass beads from recycled glass, and they are absolutely captivating.
The most well known traditional Ghanaian glass beads, also known as Krobo (named after the mountains where the main production area is) are beads made out of recycles glass. This mostly means discarded glass bottles, as well as other glass things that have been thrown in the trash. And people of Ghana have learned how to turn garbage into something beautiful!
The salvaged bones were found by me while out trekking in the Scottish countryside. I am unsure of the animal but whatever the animal, its sacred. My art is not about glorifying death but rather honouring and celebrating life. I would much rather see any of the animals, insects, plants used in my art alive. I never have nor ever will harm or kill an animal, insect or plant for my bone collection or art.
One of kind earrings for that tribal goddess in you!
