Ear weights to do wear like other types of jewelry. If the
jewelry is too large your ears may shrink around it and get
stuck. In order to ensure that this doesn’t happen you
need to discern your minimum earlobe size. This is a very important
measurement for many of my designs.
To determine the minimum earlobe it is best to remove your
regular jewelry and let your lobes shrink over a few days. The
size of the opening after this shrinking period is the max size
you should order. (this is your natural hole size)
Occasionally you can wear a size larger than recommended, please
use your best judgement when choosing your jewelry.
Ear weights are not recommended for newly stretched ears. Please
only wear ear weights in holes you’ve had stretched for
some time.
Most of these weights were carved over a few months in 2003
and 2004.They were inspired by the need for me to have ear weights
in a time when ear weights were not for sale any were else, with
the exception of the old Borneo ear weights that Erica Skadson
from Organic introduced to us in the late 90s.
Most of the weights were designed for myself, and a few friends.
I often found when I was carving them that I really wanted to
make them much larger and make huge 8 foot statues cast in bronze.
Until that day they’ll remain cute, small ear weights.
I also have several new designs that have yet to be carved that
will also act as bottle openers. Commission me to make them and
they’ll be done right away!
