I've burnished all the sterling silver so it has a sheen rather than a high shine. The surfite has a swirly 'eyeball' pattern, they are a well matched pair in shades of blue, white, deep red and purple with hints of green, pink and yellow. Some of the colours are opaque but some are translucent, the earrings have an open back so will look different depending on the lighting and whether it is bouncing off the front of the earring or passing through it. The surfite has lots of internal air bubbles and flow lines, the surface has a slight undulation. These long earrings measure 66mm by 21mm, the surfite measures 21mm diameter. Comes gift boxed.\r\nThe surfite comes from Cornwall and is a build up of cured resin that forms during the glassing stage of surfboard manufacture making these earrings a great gift for a surfer. I cut this particular material myself and you can see the original block and a work in progress shot in the photos (the rough isn't included). Where the last drips of resin were falling into a bucket stalagmites were forming and then being surround by subsequent layers of resin, the eye pattern is achieved by cutting through those stalagmites. The rough material came from Toy Factory Surfboards in Newquay, Cornwall. Love the idea of surfite but want something different then drop me a message.","brand":"Sasha Garrett","product_id":8373266,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-09-01T07:11:25+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-a7c1729b-946a-4785-b715-f917ed1d5edf-Cornish-surfite-and-silver-earrings-Sasha-Garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-31b1c9e8-7f67-41ec-a6ad-27c9f8de81b0-Cornish-surfite-and-silver-earrings-Sasha-Garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-b110ff72-5c82-4f87-a0ca-c2a665ff66be-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-3aebdbc6-a96e-43f9-a507-812a4ff95821-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-5fd52247-716b-4f8d-8e1e-8b2726c658d4-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-df66620b-baf0-4c30-b18d-7b884f08cbd5-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-40c6f251-4bab-4dcb-a19c-71484d205dfd-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-c6dd01d4-6a39-47e6-871e-a08dfb16a6c0-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-f2199586-a319-490a-809e-187e267c409c-cornish-surfite-hoop-earrings-sasha-garrett/public"]}
