I'm calling this pair of pretty one of a kind earrings - Everything Old
Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years.
While making these I became fascinated all over again about dinosaurs. Have you read Centennial by James Michener? I was taken in and enthralled with his taking our North American history back to pre-dinosaurs to the 70's. I highly recommend it if interested in the northern area of Colorado. It also brought up little known history to me of how Mexican workers have been treated unfairly since before statehood of the area.
Ingredients:
- Fossilized dinosaur bone - yes, they are old!
- antique steel cut buttons with copper
- set in sterling silver
- niobium earwires
These dangle 2 inches from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the teardrop.
