DETAILS:

• Materials: available in either .925 sterling silver, a mix of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper, and antique bronze, a mix of 90% copper and 10% tin. Both are free of nickel, zinc or cadmium, which are common metal allergens, which can cause rashes and sores. For more info on bronze, read the blog post or consult my FAQ. I can also make these in gold on order, so contact me for an estimate for the costs.
• Stainless steel is an affordable material to create hypoallergenic jewellery for those sensitive to costume jewellery. Stainless steel is a tougher material than gold and silver and is ideal for everyday wear for those that are hard on your jewellery. The stainless steel I use is 316L grade to make sure you get no allergic reactions as 316L grade stainless steel is nickel free, lead free and cadmium free. Moreover, stainless steel is water resistant and doesn't tarnish and doesn't required a lot of care. It does take more work to finish pieces cast in stainless steel and can take longer to get cast, so the processing time is 2-3 weeks depending on the caster
• Dimensions: The owl charms are 1.8cm long and 1.1cm wide. The ear wire is made in the same materials as the charms. The charms are hollowed out in the back to make it light and east to wear every day. I can also make these in gold on order, so contact me for an estimate for the costs.
• Shipping Info: Shipping is with tracking and full insurance. For international buyers, please be aware of taxes and duties are payable to your country and must be paid by the buyer and is not collected by me.
• Looking to change the style of earring posts to more secure screw backs? Want to change the standard ear wires to locking lever backs? Or want earrings but have no holes in your ears? Check out my Earring Upgrade section and choose the best option for you! And I'll be adding gold options too! 

Symbolically, owls were revered in Hellenic mythology, often associated with Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. The owl's nocturnal nature and keen perception made it a symbol of foresight and enlightenment. Wearing these owl earrings serves as a nod to the timeless wisdom and the pursuit of knowledge.

Ideal as a gift or as a personal accessory, our Hellenic Owl Earrings carry a deeper significance, adding a touch of classical charm and cultural resonance to your style!
