Eye Stainless Steel Earrings

Laser cut stainless steel with hand painted background.

These earrings are based on one of my linocut prints. They have a lovely amount of movement when they're hanging, and are perfect for adding a touch of something dark and a little fun to your collection.

I hand finish every one of these, building up the background in several layers, and carefully sanding the edges of each individual piece. This means that the ones you get might look a little different to those in the photos, as the colour settles a little differently with each pair.

These are 40mm tall and 32mm wide, not including hooks or hoops, and each one weighs around 3.3 grams.

Earring hardware comes in your choice of either 20mm stainless steel wire hoops, or standard stainless steel hooks.

The brushed finish of the steel makes it hard to see any small dings or scratches you may get if you wear these out often.
While being made of a solid piece of metal makes these very sturdy, extra care must be taken to avoid damaging the background fill on each piece. I use porcelain paint to add in the colour, and heat set it which makes it resistant to scratches. However, I’ve found from experience that wearing these often in damp environments (showers, swimming, exercise etc) and storing them in the bathroom makes them susceptible to scrapes again over time.
