These beautiful Dancing Bear Grateful Dead Niobium earrings designed by Holly Yashi. 

About Niobium: Light weight like titanium, but much rarer, when shiny metal sheets of niobium are dipped in an electrically-charged bath, the refractory metal flashes into hues of rich, permanent color. It often receives a secondary coloring treatment which is applied by hand. Holly’s intricate designs demand niobium’s consistent coloring potential. Equally important, niobium is environmentally clean from start to finish and so hypo-allergenic that it is used in surgical implants.
