  • knitting needle earrings by french ostrich

    Knitting Needle Earrings Pale Green

    $46.00

    Part of the Re-Fabulous collection, these unique earrings are crafted from repurposed knitting needles! Each pair undergoes a meticulous transformation process, starting with smashing the needles flat. They are then cut into various lengths, hammered to add texture, carefully filed, and drilled to perfection. After being tumbled for a few hours to smooth out any rough edges, they’re adorned with an array of charms, beads, mini-hoops, and vintage earrings for that final touch.

    These particular earrings feature a stunning pale green hue, complemented by faceted pale green beads and a hint of sparkle from Czech crystal rondelles.

    Please note: due to the handmade nature of these earrings, the knitting needle components may not match exactly, adding to their unique charm.

    Lightweight at just 2.5 grams each and measuring under 2 inches long, these earrings are not only a fashion statement but also a delightful conversation starter. Perfect for the knitters in your life, these earrings make a thoughtful and stylish gift.
