These earrings are inspired by mid-century hanging lamps like George Nelson's iconic saucer lamps. I laser cut them from thin wood that I stain and then lay them over acrylic.

I use niobium ear wires because niobium is one of the most hypoallergenic and non-reactive metals available (more so than sterling silver, which may contain small amounts of nickel and other reactive metals).

Have plugs? I can convert this earring design to use a hinged steel infinity loop that can slide through a standard tunnel plug. This allows you to use your own tunnels that are comfortable for your ears.
