Endosymbiosis Earrings
These earrings illustrate endosymbiotic theory: that some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. They are the perfect gift for a teacher, inner nerd, student, friend, loved one, or yourself.
All designs are 100% hand sculpted using the highest quality polymer clay. Polymer clay is a lightweight, flexible and durable material that will look great for a lifetime with proper care. Dropping, bending, bathing or sleeping with earrings may cause damage. To clean simply use soap and water and store away from other jewelry to avoid scratches.
POSTS:
Titanium earring posts or hooks make these as allergy friendly as possible without the expense of pure gold. Only 0.6% of people are allergic to titanium, so it is safe for even the most sensitive ears. Unlike cheaper metals labelled "hypoallergenic," these are unalloyed pure titanium, nickel-free, and have no trace of irritating metals. Posts are buried in the stud using liquid polymer clay and re-baked for maximum comfort.
BACKS:
Backs are made of clear silicone. I do not use any metal butterflies due to metal sensitivities, as even those labelled hypoallergenic cause reactions for a lot of people. Two sets of clear silicone backs are included to ensure there is an extra set if one goes missing.
SIZE:
Length: 3.2 cm
Width: 3.2 cm
