Kayak Earrings, Hand Painted

$52.00




(1)

These Kayak Inspired earrings are hand-painted, original works of art done in Ink & Watercolor on 1mm thick pressed cotton watercolor paper. The front and back of every pair get painted in full detail, so they look stunning from all angles. After I paint them, I coat them in several layers of protective lacquer, making them water-resistant and UV resistant.

Q&A:

What are they made out of?
They are made out of cotton watercolor paper, but not the kind you'll find in the local office store. The paper I use is made out of Italian Pressed Cotton and is 1mm thick.

Are they handmade?
I make every order by hand as the order is received. Each earring is an original ink & watercolor painting, not a printed copy. I hand cut, draw, paint and varnish every pair. It takes me about two hours to make one pair of earrings, depending on how detailed they are.

Can these get wet?
They are sealed in lacquer, which making them water-resistant and UV-resistant. If you get caught in the rain, don't panic, let them hang dry. Do not wear them in the shower or go swimming with them on. But, even if you do, chances are they will survive. To see a pair of earrings go for a swim, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

How sturdy are they?
The way the cotton fibers have been pressed together gives the material a flexible quality, making them sturdier than wooden earrings. They will bend under pressure rather than snap in half. If they get bent too far, it is possible to fold them, but normal wear will not cause damage.

Are they heavy?
No. They are so lightweight, they do not register on my 1-ounce scale. They will not pull on your earlobes or stretch your ears. I recommend using earring backers on the earwires to keep them from falling out and getting lost. Each order comes with one set of silicone backers.

Are they hypoallergenic?
Yes. I use stainless steel hardware, which is great for sensitive skin and will not tarnish or dull over time. Stainless steel is Nickel free and non-reactive for most people. The gold-finish hardware I offer is also stainless steel, but with a gold coating on it.

When will I get my order?
Please allow approximately 3 to 5 business days for them to be made and packaged. Once they ship, they take 2-3 business days to arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Care instructions

These earrings are UV and Water resistant, but are not recommended for swimming in. If you jump into the shower or dive into the lake with them on, gently wipe them off and hang them up to dry. Note: I've spilled coffee on one pair; gotten into the shower with a pair still on; as well as test submerged a pair; they all survived just fine, but I can't guarantee that they will.

Custom and personalized orders

If you have a design in mind but don't see anything like it on my site, please contact me, I love to create new things. I can also create most items in any color combination that you would like.

Jewelry Hardware

All of the jewelry hardware that I use is Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel. Hypoallergenic "Gold Finished" Stainless Steel is also available.

Love these! Such detailed painting... nice and lightweight. A little bigger than I expected but I probably didn't read the description thoroughly. Beautiful work!
