Australian Gecko Hand Painted Earrings

Description

Australian Gecko hand painted wood and sterling silver earrings.

About our Gecko:
There are more than 150 species of Geckos native to Australia – who knew ! (well obviously someone did or I wouldn’t have been able to find that out and tell you about it but still…).
They are a dab hand at blending into their surroundings. They like to snack on insects and invertebrates with some enjoying a tipple of nectar to go with their feast.
They can be noisy little fellows favouring a vocal range that includes clicks, barks, squeaks and the odd chirp.
They certainly don’t need a phone torch as they can see brilliantly at night – they can even see colours and I’d say they prefer nighttime anyway since they don’t have movable eyelids. They lick their eyes to clean them instead of the traditional blinking.
If they are concerned about any predatory behaviour nearby they just drop their tail and get the flock out of there, with most of them able to grow a new one.

About the earrings:
You can NEVER have TOO many earrings !
Even better when they are Australian made. Couple that with the fact that these little lizards are made with silver, gold, black and white hues and they literally go with anything – I’m thinking jeans and a T or blingy evening dress and some strappy shoes – right ?
These earrings are designed, laser cut, hand painted and assembled personally by me in our little studio and workshop (aka converted front bedroom and lovely workshoppy space at the end of our garage) using Australian made blackwood ply, Australian made Sterling silver and non-toxic water-based acrylic paints.
