My earrings are made from maple wood and I paint them with iridescent acrylic paints.This pair of earrings has a tree design on it. The background wood is stained a dark brown and painted on top is a shimmery gold trunk with shimmery copper/ rose gold leaves. The ear hooks and jump rings are made from gold plated surgical steel so you will not get any allergies!!! The approximate diameter of the wood is 6 cm.
