Leaf Cartilage Chain Earrings - 16 Gauge Barbells

This is a pair of connecting chain earrings where the one dangles from the earlobe while the matching earring connects from the lobe to the cartilage. At the top of the earring is a 16 gauge barbell; the chain slides over this with a little wire loop at the top.

The chains themselves are connected together by hand from handmade copper and aluminum jump rings (I even cut each individual jump ring!) and the leaf charms are pewter.

These were a pair of earrings I made custom for someone, but you can find my Etsy shop here.
