Boatite is a build up of cured paint from boat yards, in this case the Larson boat yard and this material is believed to be from the 1960's hence the retro colour palette of creams, tans, green and mustard. These have a more stripey pattern which gets more wavey across the earring.  The earrings measure 55mm drop (inc hook) by 19mm across, boatite is lightweight so they are not heavy in the ears and could comfortably be worn all day. Comes gift boxed.\r\nBoatite is the name given to the cured build up of paint that forms in boat yards (I like to think of it as fordite's maritime cousin). Normally this build up would be thrown away but occasionally lumps of it would be kept as a curio and people are now realising the beauty of this waste material and turning it into jewellery. I cut and polish this material myself so if you would prefer something else then drop me a message.","brand":"Sasha Garrett","product_id":8157740,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-09-06T06:52:27+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-9d4ed80a-0322-4ce8-9013-e0c9519c8147-large-striped-boatite-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-76843974-a626-4621-a65e-419c11dcd123-large-striped-boatite-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-0c151ebc-9a99-49dd-af27-b06a3dc62e26-large-striped-boatite-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-c9b27306-9d81-4aa2-8e8e-3c9300517dba-large-striped-boatite-earrings-sasha-garrett/public"]}
