Feathered Scale Earrings

Take flight.

You will soar above the crowd in these bold, feathered scale earrings. The titanium scales shine with an almost iridescence that will make you feel like a mermaid. Made in stainless steel and anodized titanium, they will never tarnish, discolor, or turn your skin colors.

Note: Pictures of each color are to give an example of the colors. Due to the nature of anodized titanium, the colors may vary a bit from batch to batch, or even from scale to scale.

Crafting Process

• First, the rings are tumble polished to clean & shine them up, as well as to remove any sharp edges or burrs they may have.
• Then, each ring is opened, woven, and closed a single ring at a time to create each intricate pattern.
• The titanium is colored using electricity. I create a solution made up of baking soda and distilled water, then run an electrical current through it. I then use this to anodize the titanium which creates an oxide layer on the surface. Different voltages will create different colors. Due to the anodizing process, there may be slight color variation from batch to batch.

Deciding which metal for ear wires

I never, ever use plated metals for my jewelry findings. Most of what I use is stainless steel. Stainless steel is widely considered to be hypoallergenic and most people are fine with it. For those with severe metal sensitivities or allergies, I always recommend titanium. Titanium is completely nickel free and hypoallergenic. If your purchase is a gift and you’re not sure if the recipient has metal sensitivities, titanium would be the way to go.

Care & Cleaning

Stainless steel is super easy to clean and very low maintenance! All you need is a little soap and water. I normally suggest using blue dawn dish soap and warm water. Because of the anodized titanium, it is strongly recommended to remove not shower or swim in this necklace to help the color stay vibrant longer. Since it is colored by creating an oxide layer without the use of dye, the colors could fade over time when exposed to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine.

I offer a guarantee that your piece will last. If anything happens to it, just contact me and I will make any necessary repairs.

Shipping

Each item is handmade by me and me alone. While I strive to get most items shipped with a quick turn around time of 1-3 business days, some orders will take longer to ship (up to 2 weeks).

I offer free Standard shipping and use USPS First Class, which normally has a 3-5 day transit time.

I also offer Expedited shipping for an extra charge which ships via USPS Priority which has a transit time of 1-3 business days.
