Small Snakebite Hoop Earring

A vicious, biting serpent in the form of an everyday hoop earring. I carved this deeply textured snake out of jeweler's wax, and then cast it in a variety of precious metals. This one is cast in sterling silver which I oxidized and then satin brushed the surface to bring out all the carved details, It's a perfect everyday hoop earring, but with a twist.

Details:

It is 1/16" across or 2mm across its scaly body, and 1/2" diameter or 1cm across the hoop. The tail curls around and tucks itself discretely behind the wearer's earlobe.

Oxidized and brushed sterling silver, with a silver post and sterling silver earring back.
