Long Caribou Hide on Bison Earrings

I traditionally tanned the caribou hide and cut long strips of it to make these ultra light earrings.The hide is threaded through a bison horn piece that was hand sanded and polished. These earrings were inspired by traditional Gwich'in caribou outfits.
.
The ear wire is handmade with sterling silver.
.
These statement earrings are extremely light and are comfortable to wear everyday. They have a light scent of spruce smoke from the tanning process.
