These penguin earrings are very popular with young ladies. My daugher loves them! These adorable post earrings are Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua), which in the wild stand about 30” tall, weigh between nine and thirteen pounds, and are generally unagressive. Gentoos are the only penguin species with conspicuous white marks on top of the head. The Gentoo’s back is bluish-black and its bill is yellowish-orange. .
These post earrings were created by BAMBOO Jewelry, an environmentally conscious company. BAMBOO uses glass fired onto recycled silver to create their colorful jewelry. They also purchase carbon credits to offset their use of non-renewable energy, thereby making BAMBOO Jewelry the world’s first carbon-neutral jewelry company.
Every piece of BAMBOO Jewelry comes packaged in an attractive eco-friendly bamboo gift box lined with anti-tarnish fabric. Bamboo, though harder than oak or maple, is actually a fast growing grass which can be harvested every 3 to 5 years. The bamboo used for these gift boxes is plantation grown without the use of irrigation, fertilizers, or pesticides; nor is it a food source or habitat for endangered animals.
