Soapstone Round Animal Earrings

These colourful round earrings feature hand painted animal designs on Kenyan soapstone. Most of the worlds soapstone originates from Kisii in the western highlands of Kenya and so is home to the best soapstone artisans. Before starting work the stone must be immersed in water to make it softer and therefore easier to work with. Using a hammer and chisel the main shape is carved out and colour then added. Hypoallergenic hooks.
