Sculpted Octopus Earring Climbers

$220.00$355.00

An octopus leg to adorn more than your lobes. Organic and exotic-looking, people really notice these when you wear them. These earrings are a celebration of the intelligent and mesmerising Hawaiian Day Octopus. Its gentle curves embrace your ears and are held on via an earwire at the bottom and a clip at the top. Style these with flowing, feminine outfits to highlight the undulating lines, or with bold outfits to show their uniqueness. (want it as an ear cuff?)

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

 

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!

Details

These sculpted Octopus Earring Climbers are small-scale sculptures of an octopus leg caressing your ear. The two sides are different. Light, and very comfortable, customers say they barely feel them on. Hand-sculpted with attention to detail.

The earrings have a clip at the top to hold onto your ear – you can adjust this to fit your ear shape. However, do keep adjustments to a minimum – just a few times should do it. Just as when you bend a paper clip back and forth, silver gets brittle with too much bending. (in other words, once fit, resist adjusting each time you put it on!)
