Whimsical Octopus Balsa Earrings

Don’t miss this fun fact: octopuses, like horseshoe crabs, have blue blood. The protein in their blood, called hemocyanin, contains copper, instead of iron.

These earrings are designed by our artisan partners on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. They are hand-carved and hand-painted out of lightweight sustainable balsa wood. Each pair of earrings is carefully carved with a paring knife and then delicately hand-painted with amazing detail. Material: Sustainably harvested balsa wood and non-toxic acrylic paint. Approximate size: .75" to 1”. Each pair of whimsical earrings may vary in color. Fair trade.
