    Each character is a single printed piece, its strokes joined so it hangs as one.

    Each character is earring-sized, with a small printed loop at the top for its jump ring.

  3. What you get

    Ready to wear

Each character was 3D printed as one flat piece in coral, with rounded strokes and a small loop at the top for hanging.

One character, one printed piece.

A jump ring joins the loop on each character to a silver fish-hook ear wire.

Each character on its own hook.
