Square brown & black Pysanka earrings

These earrings are made from the shells of a Ukrainian Easter Egg (Pysanka). They feature small details from a traditional geometric design, on a brown egg with black background. The original Pysanka from which these pieces of shell came was broken, which can be seen in some of the surface and edge imperfections. The epoxy clay in which the shell is set serves to stabilize and protect the egg shell, giving it strength and durability. The laquer over top of the shell preserves the designed portion. The bezel setting and earwires are plated in an antique brass tone (pictured); also available is the same design with settings and ear wires in gunmetal tone.

Materials: lead-free & nickel-free plated metal; epoxy clay; egg shell; clear lacquer

Measurements: 1 X 1 cm (1/2 x 1/2 inch); total length with earwire = 3 cm (1 1/4 inches)
