Crafted from vintage Nordic skis, these earrings preserve a small piece of skiing history while transforming retired equipment into wearable art.
 
These one-of-a-kind earrings are handcrafted from authentic cross-country skis, giving retired Nordic ski equipment a second life as wearable art.
 
Each pair begins as a vintage or modern cross-country ski selected for its colors, graphics, and character. In many cases, the colorful top sheet of the ski becomes the front of the earring and is coated with clear resin to enhance its shine and help preserve the original graphics. Some vintage wooden skis are finished with a protective clear coat instead, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to shine through. In certain designs, the sidewall, wood grain, or original ski base is more visually interesting than the top surface and becomes the focal point of the earring.
 
The wooden core of the ski is often visible from the side, revealing the layered construction that made the ski unique. The reverse side may display the ski's original base material, wood grain, or graphics, depending on the ski and the design.
 
Because every ski has its own colors, graphics, materials, and history, no two pairs are exactly alike.
 
Despite being made from authentic skis, these earrings are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The earring findings are made from hypoallergenic stainless steel, providing durability, resistance to tarnishing, and comfort for most wearers.
 
Handcrafted in Lake Placid, New York — home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games and a community deeply connected to Nordic and alpine skiing traditions.
 
Perfect for cross-country skiers, Nordic racers, ski coaches, biathletes, mountain lovers, and anyone who appreciates unique handmade jewelry with a story.
 
Each pair is individually handcrafted, and the exact earrings shown are the pair you will receive.
