portobello hello

This pair of earrings has two hand-folded miniature paper cranes in dark brown, lacquered for strength and durability (very sturdy! Carefully lacquered paper maintains a bit of flex, so they’re reinforced but not brittle), arranged vertically with glass beads (pearl white with accents in bronze, black, and translucent off-white), on stainless steel hardware. The wingspan of each crane measures just shy of ¾" (super tiny!), and the bottom of the earring hangs just about 1.5" from the earlobe. Paper cranes are lightweight but substantial, and a few glass beads give these earrings a real good dangle.

Sometimes, you send for the Male Quarter Horse Mail Order Course, and earrings arrive at your doorstep instead, and you wonder what the miscommunication could possibly have been. And what you’re even supposed to do now with this steed. He doesn’t want to wear the earrings, I tried. It is a cute pair, though; portobello shroom vibes, and the cranes have two distinct personalities.
