These statement earrings are made with genuine African porcupine quills, brass wire, bead caps, and matching Earwires. We trim and sand the tips of the quills for safety. - These lightweight earrings measure approximately 4"-4.5". - As these are natural, the colors will vary but we will do our best to pick the best matching sets available African porcupine quills can be quite long in length and come in shades of predominantly white, predominantly brown, and sometimes a more even mix of the two. No animals were harmed in the collection of these quills as they are either naturally shed or collected ethically. See our shop for our new extensive collection of boho inspired quill jewelry.
