This listing is for a CUSTOM MADE piece. I will begin to create your earrings after you place your order. I will do my very best to get your earrings to you in a timely fashion, but please understand that MANY hours go into each piece and they can take up to 6 weeks to complete. Please let me know if you are hoping to have your earrings by a certain date and I will do everything in my power to get it to you by then. Thanks in advance for your patience!
Peep shows were establishments where one could purchase brass tokens and then enter a room with a curtained window. You would then place the token in a slot and the curtain would open, revealing an erotic film or often - a live performance :)
I collect these hard-to-find vintage brass tokens from the 1970s to turn into jewelry. Some of them feature a penis on the front with masculine buttocks on the back. Other feature a large-breasted person on the front with the words HEADS I WIN, and a butt with TAILS YOU LOSE on the back (they win either way).
I have carefully soldered on tiny sterling jump rings and shaped earwires from 22 gauge sterling for comfortable wear. These earrings are not too heavy and VERY cute when put on - the imagery on these earrings is subtle, and only the very attentive will notice the hilarious and naughty depictions.
"Heads I Win / Tails You Lose" Large Breasted Tokens are slightly larger than a quarter.
Penis / Butt Tokens are slightly smaller than a quarter.
Brass is lacquered to prevent dulling and oxidization.
