The single strands of elephant hair have been moulded into two concentric circles which are joined by 9ct gold connectors.

The earrings have been fitted with 9ct gold shepherds hook wires.

The elephant hair has natural colour variations from deep brown to a dark blonde.

Elephant hair jewellery became popular late in the 19th century.
