Origin: Masaya, Nicaragua.

A contemporary shape with the most natural of inspirations, these stick earrings embody the best of sleek design and eco-awareness. Recycled spalted maple wood* is hand carved to highlight the wood's natural knotting and patterns.

*The wood is not logged. The local spalted maple wood resource is collected from the ground and is not threatened by this activity.

Line patterns vary in all earrings. Some naturally show more or less "spalting" (black organic lines throughout the wood).

Steel iron fish-hook post.

Length (just wood) approx. 2-1/2" (metal & wood) 3-1/4" x Thickness 1/8".
