Elephants have played an important role in the history of Thailand and remain a symbol of the country itself. In Thai culture, the elephant represents strength and wisdom, which has inspired Thai artisan Apinya to create these adorable little elephant earrings. These stud earrings are crafted using fine .925 sterling silver and feature a cool simulated blue turquoise inlay and are a great way to add style with a splash of color to whatever you are wearing. The perfect pair of earrings for any elephant lover. PLEASE NOTE: The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design, sizing and weight.
