Sculpted Octopus Ear Cuff

An edgy octopus leg to caress more than your lobes. Organic and exotic-looking, people really notice these when you wear them. These ear cuffs are a celebration of the intelligent and mesmerising Hawaiian Day Octopus. Its gentle curves embrace your ears and are held on by a comfortable ear cuff mid-ear. (cont'd below)

Hello! I love my new earrings!!! Thank you so much!! You are amazing! -C

Each side is slightly different. Light, and very comfortable, each cuff is hand-sculpted and fabricated with attention to detail. We want these to be as comfortable as possible so we've introduced cuff sizes (see last image). Measure where indicated, and choose the size. Most people will fit a Medium, but all ears are a little different!

• Select Right (with loop) or Left (curved)
• Earrings are 42mm (right) and 37mm long (left)
• Sterling silver (18K vermeil on request)
• Lead and nickel free
• Made in Hawaii
• You may also like the matching necklace and cuff bracelet

About He'e (octopus, tako)

In Hawaii, octopuses are called he'e (in Hawaiian, with a glottal stop between the two e's) and tako (the Japanese word for it) and if we are lucky, we see them when diving. Deeply intelligent, they have multiple ways to defend themselves - black ink, camouflage, even squirting water. (There's more about them in our dec 2014 blog) We enjoy their company on dives for both playfulness and inventiveness - even when very small these wonderful creatures will pull themselves up to size to intimidate a photographer!

US Shipping: The good news – shipping for all US orders over $100 is free!  Otherwise our standard shipping rates are $9.99 anywhere in the US (8.99 in Hawaii).  If you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii, we are happy to arrange a pick up.

International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world! Know that we will diligently get your order out as soon as we can, but that even with the best of timing, it may still take a few weeks to arrive. If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.

Timing: ‘Alohi Kai jewelry is shipped from Hawaii, and some jewelry will be made to order which takes a bit of time. If we have it in stock, we’ll ship it out immediately. For silver pieces made to order, allow 1-3 days to ship; vermeil can take up to an additional 2-3 weeks to finish.  If you have a deadline earlier than this, send us a note to be sure – we may have one we can ship immediately. We generally use priority mail (5-7 days for shipping), but please allow 2-3 weeks delivery.

Our shipping is generally done via USPS First Class mail, however if you need something faster, and we have it in stock, we can send it priority mail (3-5 days from ship date), please email us at hello@alohikai.com to arrange it.
