What exactly makes these arrow earrings different from the rest? Well, the hammered earring wires, of course! Hammering your wires not only adds a unique, natural looking, texture which compliments these arrow pendants beautifully, but it also adds durability to your earrings. The simplicity of this project is just too good to pass up!
