These are intricately carved reproductions (modernized for wearability) of traditional Mayan jadeite ear flares which we hold in our antiquities collection here at Onetribe in Richmond, VA.
These pieces are carved from amber sourced from the Chiapas region of Mexico, and this particular set has some organic inclusions in both pieces. There's also a fair amount of green sheen under good daylight due to the amount of organic matter contained within. They have the following dimensions:
- Saddle: 19mm
- Wearable Width: 9.5mm
- Front Flare: 24mm
- Rear Flare: Standard (1-1.5mm)
