Lady Earrings
This design was inspired by a commission-- hand's down Larkin's most entertaining commission to date! I would pay good money to have a recording of Larkin's younger brother's double-take when he first spotted them "wait... are those...?!" And all the design conversations we usually have about commissions took on a whole new level of culturally-induced hilarity: "so... is it fun if the nipples move-- even if it's possible for them to end up over one shoulder-- or should I solder them in place?" After consulting with the customer, nipple mobility was the clear winner.
The design was so popular they've become part of the regular Idle Talons product line! Each earring is made from a single piece of 20 gauge wire in sterling silver or copper, with two copper beads as nipples. Copper is oxidized dark and polished to gleaming, silver is polished bright.
They measure approximately 5 cm long and 2 cm at widest point. Silver is 0.925 sterling. Sterling silver is nickel-free which makes it suitable for most people with metal allergies.
