These dangle earrings are made with a flat aluminum wire that I found and am very excited about. I developed new and modified some of my existing techniques to manipulate the wire with gentile bends and curves. There is a textured wood grain finish on the wire that is very subtle and a pretty detail when really examined up close. Customers always say my designs made in the wire looks like ribbon candy and while that was not my original inspiration, I must agree. My designs are fun and energetic and very easy to wear. And of course since these are made out of aluminum they are very light weight for being big flashy earrings. I use niobium or surgical steel earring hooks in every pair making them hypo allergenic and I have other hook options available feel free to message me.. These Can be made in other colors, Choose "customized color choice" then e-mail me with your color request. I have had trouble finding a reliable supplier to get more of this specialty wire, so get them now!!
