About this Product
These earrings feature handmade tatted lace around a metal gear, and hand formed earwires of niobium. This is my original design, called "High Gear" and the tatting pattern is available in another listing in my shop as an instant download.
I designed and made these using high quality cotton "Lizbeth" thread, making the lace with the shuttle tatting method. The small seed beads are glass and the larger bead is a coated crystal. The gear is antique brass plated brass. The earrings measure about 1 and 3/4 inches below the earwire.
I formed the earwires myself from niobium, an inert metal that is hypoallergenic and excellent for sensitive ears.
The earrings arrive in a white gift box wrapped with ribbon.
This is a finished item. I do not do any custom orders.
Marilee's Tatting
Meet the Maker
I enjoy designing original tatting patterns including tatted jewelry with beads. I also hand dye high quality thread to achieve unique color combinations.

How it’s Made
I’ve been tatting since 1975, and designing and selling tatted jewelry since 2004. I teach 2 tatting courses on Craftsy, and my work has appeared in magazines such as Bead&Button, Belle Armoire Jewelry, and Artistonish.
