Themyscira Blue Earrings

$75.00
3 available

These playfully bright and evocative earrings are feather light in your ears, and light on the planet too.

I have named this pair “Themyscira”. In Greek mythology, Themyscira is the home of the Amazons (and in the DC Comic universe, the birthplace of Wonder Woman). The colours and shapes make me think of Diana Prince's legendary outfit. This listing is for the Themyscira Blue colourway.

| Description |

The Themyscira Earrings feature a 3/4 inch circle cut from bright blue leather. Below that, hanging from a polished copper ring, is what I like to call a pair of wings. These wings are composed of a pale pink vegetable tanned leather semi-circle from which drops a spear headed length of mustard coloured leather hand cut into a fringe. The total length is 2.75 inches, and the dangle portion is 2 inches long.

I have a shorter version elsewhere in the shop along with a few other variations - see the last image for the full range!

| The Tellurian Collection |

These earrings are part of the Tellurian collection. Tellurian means “dweller on the earth” or “of, relating to, or characteristic of the earth.” Each piece is named for an element of the universe. My hope is they evoke a sense of belonging to the place we find ourselves, and a reminder that we are a part of nature.

| How They were Made |

The Themyscira Earrings are made of recycled leather, which has been cut, trimmed and buffed with a conservation and restoration grade wax that resists dirt and stains, and scrap solid copper electrical wire that has been stripped, cleaned, shaped and polished by hand with the same wax in order to preserve the rose gold tone. The leather shapes are then joined either by the copper jump rings or by adhesive to one another. Solid sterling silver posts adhere sturdily and come with sterling silver butterfly cap backings.

Each pair is made with my two hands in my studio on the traditional territory of the Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin).

| Care |

Please avoid handling the earrings with dirty or wet fingers. Do not get wet, lay flat to store. In time, the copper jump rings will develop a darker patina that can be brightened with a quick buff of a polishing cloth.

| Shipping |

Your earrings ship for free in minimalist, environmentally friendly packaging and will be mailed within one to two business days of receiving your order. As they are essentially one of a kind and irreplaceable, they will be shipped to you with tracking and include insurance coverage in the case of loss or damage on route, at no extra cost to you.

| A note about my descriptions of the vegetable tanned leather (the blush/nude/pink) |

Blush and nude are very euro-centric terms that imply white skin as standard. I have tried my best to find alternative descriptions that still convey the precise colour of the pieces so you can feel comfortable choosing the perfect pair for you!
