October 2007 Challenge Entry - POW! by sparkfactory



POW! Very red and loaded with attitude, these funky earrings are like two little explosions hanging off your ears. Recall the sound effects found in super hero comics - POW! ZAP! BIFF! Designed for this month's theme of the EFC challenge, 'Help', these earrings would befit the ears of any female (or male!) Superhero!

Aside from the visual wow factor, these earrings are also extremely tactile and have lots of movement in them. The coral chips are strung onto delicate silver wire and move around freely, so they are in a constant state of flux... fiddle with them for a moment and the form changes - great if you are someone who likes to fidget, or has just given up smoking and needs something to do with your fingers!

These earrings look their best worn with black, white and red... dress them up for a zinger of a night out or add a little fizz to an otherwise sedate work outfit... you'll be surprised how very versatile they are.

POW! comes packaged in a beautiful chocolate brown presentation box and will be shipped to you insured, for total peace of mind (this is included in the cost of shipping).

Details:
Red coral (dyed) - chips
Sterling Silver - 2mm round
Earwires & all findings - sterling silver
Length - 40mm (from top of earwire)

50% of profit is donated to The World Food Program and Share The World's Resources, two organisations working to bring an end to global hunger and inequality (see my Profile for more information).
