These lovely earrings are made in NYC one at a time. They are from a life cast of a hummingbird's skull in solid sterling silver. It is oxidized and tumble polished to bring out the details. The sterling silver posts areĀ set and silver soldered into the piece after the casting. This ensures they will be strong and it's the professional way to set up pieces of this nature.
The skull is a dainty 1 inch long and 1/4 of an inch wide. It is quite light and comfortable. It adds a pretty and subtle detail to any look. I have been working with the little skulls for several years having been inspired by seeing them around my cabin in Tennessee.
