Silver Octopus Earrings

We've got to admit that these extra large Silver Octopus Earrings from Crave are just about the coolest earrings we've ever seen. They'd be simply perfect for wearing on that summer getaway by the sea - with a red & white striped shirt and a pair of navy blue capris. How cute!

By the way, the earrings are "made from sterling silver plated brass octopus stampings that were cast from a vintage mold" and each one measures 2 1/2" wide, around 2" tall, and 2 3/4" long.

Visit the Crave jewelry shop over on Etsy and be sure to snag a pair of these totally unique earrings while you're there. See ya!
