Description: Earrings with French wires made from individual petals of orchids preserved in the same way as all our other full orchids. Choice of either gold plated or silver plated clasp with surgical steel wires either gold or silver plated. All hypoallergenic. Colors each separately numbered for identification.

Designer’s comment : “Visually, these are eye-catching conversation stoppers as they are so unusual, colorful and fun to wear. They are not meant to be family heirlooms – rather they are a fun novelty gift. You will not know many people who wear real orchid petals as earrings!”

“Practically, these are so light in weight the wearer will hardly know she has them on. If her hairbrush or comb strikes these earrings they simply flex and bend and get out of the way. They are not brittle. They do not tear easily. Hair spray and water have no effect upon them. They may be rinsed in tap water. So very practical.

Size: Each is slightly different and they vary from 5 cm (approx 2 “) to 7 cm (approx 2.75 “) in length, including the wires. Some may be available shorter if required. Width varies proportionately and most measure 1.75 cm (approx 0 .5”)

Colors: Variable as shown from yellow to green to blue and orange/brown, peach and red. Most have a change of color from the tips which have shades of dark purple. Each color is separately numbered.
