The Lunacy Earrings

So when it's one of your dearest friend's birthday, and that friend happens to be the artist behind Lunacy Adornments, you know what they like and you can't help but be inspired by all their incredible work... well, things happen. You design a pair of earrings just for them and think that's the end of it - but then other people see said earrings and request their own. So here you go!

Hand stamped leather creates a unique and lightweight pair of earrings. The stamped design has been hand-painted with dye and the other areas left natural. A light coat of oil enhances the organic beauty and colour of the material, and protects the leather over time. 

Choose between a high quality niobium ear wire with a black finish and copper bead, or a solid copper hand-made ear wire with a hammered finish.

• For regular pierced ears choose the niobium ear hooks. Niobium is an inert metal that is very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction (similar to titanium). They have a permanent dark finish and a shiny copper bead.
• To wear through tunnels on stretched ears, choose the solid copper kidney hooks. These are a 16g wire and will not fit regular piercings. As they are un-coated copper they are not recommended to wear directly against the skin - they may turn you green!

Crescent components are approx 5cm (2") wide. The entire length of the earring is 7cm (2.75") for the niobium ear wires and 8.5cm (3.25") for the copper ear wires.

This item is made entirely by a human person in Calgary AB, without the use of powered tools. Natural variations in colour, texture, and shape are a part of this handcrafted process and make every piece artisanal and unique. While we display the most accurate colours possible in our photographs, variations due to your monitor may occur.

All Hex Leathercraft items are made from full grain, vegetable tanned leather. This method of tanning is more time consuming but results in a more durable product and avoids the toxic chemicals used in most conventional leather. While extremely long lasting, vegetable tanned leather is also fully biodegradable under the correct conditions. This video explains more about the process and benefits of this material.
