Susan Earrings

Laura Elizabeth | Susan Earrings

• These earrings are a cast from a REAL sea star (AKA starfish) 
• The size of the earrings are just under 1/2 an inch in diameter
• Earring post is sterling silver (due to possible allergies)
• Earrings are sustainably and ethically made from 100% recycled brass and gold or silver plated
• Earrings are plated with 3 microns of 14 karat gold or sterling silver (versus the common 1 micron) making the earrings sparkle longer
• There's no nickel, cadmium or lead in our jewelry - making it nontoxic

My mom and I co-designed this earring together and named her Susan after Susan B Anthony. My parents raised me and my siblings to stand up for our values and to fight for equality on all fronts. Both my sister and I attended women's colleges, and we both strive to live up to the examples set by the strong, supportive women who came before us; women who fought for equal rights throughout history. Susan B Anthony, whose work helped pave the way for the 19th Amendment to the Constitution and women's right to vote, is emblematic of these strong female role models, and a perfect inspiration for our new piece.
