These big amethyst earrings really make a statement. I hand-dye lightweight coconut shell discs a deep shade of purple then wire wrap them with amethyst beads and chips using silver plated wire. The ear wires are nickel-free hypo-allergenic surgical steel and they are safe for anyone with metal allergies. These earrings measure 2 inches (5 cm) in length including the ear wires. Your earrings will be shipped in an organza bag. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: I hand-dye the coconut shells using high-quality dyes and they are guaranteed to hold their color, however please avoid bathing or swimming in your jewelry.
