Hearts on Fire in Blue / Purple - Smaller Size

These flaming hearts are on fire! These cheeky statement earrings are a labour of love and made by hand, cutting each piece individually from repurposed leather. This listing is for the smaller earrings - see the comparison with the larger version in the photo carousel. 
 
OPTIONS * * *
• 14k Gold-Plated Hooks, compatible with most sensitive ears (with the option to switch to Gold-Filled Hooks for those with uber-sensitive ears)
 
CONSTRUCTION / DESIGN * * *
• After cutting, the leather is hand painted, using a high quality leather paint (which is both flexible and waterproof, hurrah!)
• Each piece is lovingly assembled by hand, from start to finish. 
• All of our pieces are crafted in our studio in beautiful Vancouver, Canada.

RECYCLED LEATHER / WHY DO WE USE IT? * * *
• We're passionate about sustainability. By using recycled leather (salvaged from scraps and second-hand clothing) we are celebrating materials that would otherwise end up in the trash.
• Leather is a rewarding material to work with. It's long wearing & durable. The second-hand leather we use is still in good condition, and retains its quality.
• It's also about challenging ourselves! One of our biggest goals is to use leather in a way you don't expect to see it, masquerading as something entirely different.
 
CARING FOR LEATHER JEWELRY ** * 
• Avoid getting your jewelry too wet, although a bit of water (getting caught in the rain or wet hair) should be ok. 
• Use care when removing and storing jewelry 
• It's best to store long pieces hanging, or laying flat. Avoid storing other objects on top of your leather jewelry.
When taken care of properly, leather jewelry can have a long, happy life!
