These hand painted statement encaustic earrings will quickly become one of your favorite accessories! Each encaustic earring is unique, unbelievably lightweight, and earth friendly. Encaustic is a wax-based paint made of beeswax, resin, and pigment. It is applied while in a molten state onto the bark and fused with a torch.
These earrings are irregularly shaped and drop approximately 3 5/8 inches. They measure 1 1/4 inches across at the widest points. The left and right earring weigh 0.2 oz each, approximately the weight of 2 pennies.
The bark was salvaged locally from fallen trees. Each piece has been cut, sanded by hand and reinforced with wood glue.
These earrings are finished with resin which provides durability and a glossy finish.
The hardware is nickel and lead free and hypoallergenic. It is strongly encouraged to wear the backings provided so an earring does not fall out.
These earrings were featured in my 2023 exhibition where I created encaustic earrings based off a 2D piece of art. See the last photo for the 2D piece I referenced.
