These feather hoops were so much fun to create! The feathers are hand sawed from brass, tumbled, then engraved! The hoops are hammered and tumbled sterling silver, which has work hardened them, and helps them keep their shape. All earrings are made with surgical steel ear wires, which are hypoallergenic and great for sensitive ears. You can trust me, I have extremely sensitive ears, I tested them on myself!
