These lovely little items are inspired by a photo I saw of the Chapel of St Basil at the University of St Thomas. I've never seen it or even been there in person, but the black & white photo I came across was striking. Enter these earrings.

Two pieces of metal are first cut to shape and attached to each other, and then to a simple earwire. Once assembled, the piece is given a light patina to mimic the darkness of the opening in the wall. To finish the piece, it is polished to a high shine.  

Hangs about .5". Arrive in a business card sized recycled paper envelope (shown).
