These are perfect Little sheep earrings! The sheep were designed and hand carved to exacting detail. The little ewes are hand cast by the artist right here in the USA and they are truly delightful. The French style earring wires are surgical steel and suitable for people with allergies and sensitive skin. They are cast in 100% fine, jeweler's pewter and contain no lead. The pewter has a 2% sterling content to add hardness and shine. Each sheep is slightly over 1/2 wide. They look a bit like Southdowns or chunky little Dorsets. Romney Breeders like these little fluffs too!
