These striking porcupine quill earrings are made from shed South African Porcupine Quills and white freshwater pearls.   Tips of the quills are capped with brass beads for safety. They dangle at 4.25" to 5.5" in total length.   Earwires are antique-brass. 14K gold-plated earwires are available by request.  Due to the natural materials used, quills will vary slightly in length and color from the images here. Rest assured that each quill is hand-picked by the designer, and earrings can be easily exchanged if unsatisfactory. Freshwater pearls are white to ivory color, and shape is oval or teardrop. No animals were harvested to make these earrings.
