These earrings are pieces of tribal or bohemian jewelry,

also known as "fake dilators" or "fake gauges".

They are ingeniously designed to give the appearance

of a stretched or dilated lobe, but they use a standard post

Suitable for normal pierced ears.

Each earring is hand-carved from natural animal bone ,

yak bone, a material that symbolizes purity for Tibetans,

strength and respect for nature.

The organic and lightweight material makes them comfortable to wear.

The spiral or twisted design gives them an exotic look

and eye-catching, typical of ethnic and Balinese jewelry.

These accessories are ideal for people looking for

a bold style without the permanent commitment of actual dilation.

They are held securely in place by a steel pin.

which is inserted into a small hole on the back of the piece.
