These hand painted statement 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.
The left encaustic earring only weighs 0.2 oz. and the right earring weighs only 0.2 oz. (approximately the weight of 2 pennies). For length and width, please see the photo.
The bark was salvaged locally from fallen trees. Each piece has been cut, sanded by hand and reinforced with wood glue.
These earrings not melt up to 150 degrees. They 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.
