Product Details

-Lightweight
-Butterfly backing

Lightweight, the Post Drop Earrings are a contemporary take on a classic ELK shape. Hand crafted from plantation timber, three square shaped beads sit horizontal, held into place via a fine metallic pin. Hand dyed, the wooden pieces get larger toward the bottom creating a pixelated teardrop shape and are held into place via a butterfly backing. Striking in design, these earrings are showcased well against tops and dresses in contrasting colours.
