Heat Shrink Earrings

Earrings constructed from mixed media, including heat shrink wire terminals and stainless steel hooks. All heat shrinking was done using a brass lamp burning olive oil with a cotton wick. Terminals are made of polyolefin and nickel. All knots on ring terminals are glued carefully to maintain their shape as well as their range of rotational motion. Each earring contains:

Nina Canter New York does not take any responsibility for injuries caused by these earrings. The pins on Oxide have had the sharp ends clipped off, but they are still pins and they may tickle your neck. We wouldn't recommend you wear them mountain biking, for example.
