Tellurian Earrings
$92.00

These delightfully dangly and earthy earrings are feather light in your ears, and light on the planet too.
I have named this pair “Tellurian”, which means "dweller on earth". The earth tones evoke soil, rock, and sand while their length and bright copper rings make them dance with your every move.
| Description |
The Tellurian Earrings are composed of a 3/4 inch matte black leather circle, followed by four half circles dangling one from another like stacked doorways or earth toned rainbows: a 1.25 inch wide semi circle in a rich coffee bean brown leather with a smaller deep rose semi circle inside of it, a 1.25 inch wide semi circle in a deep rosy vegetable tanned leather with a smaller pale rose semi circle inside of it, a 1 inch wide semi circle in a medium peach vegetable tanned leather with a smaller pale rose semi circle inside of it, and finally a 3/4 inch wide pale pink semi circle
| 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 Tellurian 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!
