New Platypus Earrings! 🤎😍
Our new Platypus Stud Earrings and Platypus Stud Dangle Earrings are made from cherry wood, individually engraved and hand painted in the Australian Snowy Mountains. Finished with hypoallergenic posts and backings, they’re a fun little celebration of one of Australia’s most unusual and cutest native animals.

Fun facts: Platypuses are one of only a few mammals in the world that lay eggs. They also close their eyes, ears and nostrils when they dive underwater and use their incredible bills to help find food!
And while we’re talking platypuses…
Did you know that August is Platypus Month in the Upper Murrumbidgee region? Throughout August, local platypus surveys help build a better picture of where platypuses are living and how their populations are going. It’s a great opportunity to learn a little more about these amazing animals and the waterways they call home. If you’re interested in getting involved or doing some platypus spotting yourself, you can find out more here:

Just a little note that our platypus earrings are our own creation and are not affiliated with or connected to Platypus Month, Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch or The Platy Project. We just love platypuses and wanted to share some great ways to learn more about them. 🤎
