Giardia Parasite Earrings - Stud-Tops

Glittering Giardia earrings! These earrings depict the trophozoite stage of the Giardia duodenalis protozoan, which causes called giardiasis (a gastrointestinal infection). They have a ventral disc, nucleoli, median body and flagella! They are handmade from resin, with beautiful iridescent and metallic glitters.

The trophoziote is 2cm wide and 4.5cm long, and the stud top is 1.2cm. The total length is 6cm.

Please note, these earrings must be handled with care. The flagella are thin and may break if dropped or if force is applied.

These earrings are lovingly handmade from epoxy resin and glitter. The earring posts and backs are surgical steel, so they are suitable for those with other metal sensitivities.

Please note that colours may appear differently on different screens. Due to their handmade nature, each earring will be slightly different. The resin pieces are placed and poured by hand so there are slight variations between pieces. Your pair may not look exactly the same as the photos because every pair is unique!
