"Sturdy earrings!"
These are delightful little bells. No ringer, but since they are on the ears, that is a plus! Very sturdy for paper.

I really like the colors used in these earrings -- they are study and subtle and go well with a number of different outfits. I love that they are handcrafted and lightweight, as well.
