Three Pairs Baby-love Hippos (CUSTOM)

This is a special listing for a custom request for 3 pairs of the Baby-love Hippo Earrings with GOLDEN accents. Please do not purchase unless you are Kathy! (second sets of photos show the silver accent version)

Seriously "squee-worthy" pairs of momma and baby hippos adorn these fabulous and incredibly light earrings!

These earrings feature intricately detailed, three-dimensional wooden Japanese ojime beads made of boxwood. These handcarved snuggling hippo beads are made out of boxwood and are signed by the artist.
But look how adorable they are!
Because Japanese kimonos do not have pockets, small bags were used to hold personal effects. The bags were attached with a cord with two carved beads: A larger toggle bead (netsuke) and a smaller sliding bead (ojime). Ojime were also believed to have magical or protective qualities.
The hippos hang from gold plated hooks, with tiny little round gemstone accents of Zebra Onyx with little black glass and gold-plated accents.
Let me know if you need earring backings for these!
