Current Fabrication Time: Approx. 4 Weeks
This silver bat-winged cat skull captive bead design measures approximately 12.5mm (wide) x 5mm (tall). You are buying a loose captive bead, you will not receive a hoop.
- The coil on the back of the design is approximately 4mm-5mm long. It is positioned horizontally across the design.
- The bat-winged cat skull bead design will take up approximately 2mm of the inner diameter when worn as septum jewelry.
- Each bead is carefully antiqued and then given a hand-brushed finish to highlight the blackened details.
- Completely nickel-free! My captive beads are made out of Argentium silver.
- I make the captive beads specific to the gauge that you choose. If the gauge you wear is not listed, my captive beads will not be compatible with your hoop.
- IMPORTANT: You will need to adjust your hoop opening to accommodate the length of the coils as you switch from bead to bead. I do my best to make the coils a consistent length, but there will always be variation due to the handcrafted nature of these products. I do not guarantee that my loose captive beads will work with hoops that you have not purchased from me.

Cancellations and requests to change the size must be sent within 48 hours of the sale. Otherwise, I will have already started working on the order. I am a single maker, there is no team behind Metal Lotus.
I may still be able to change the size after 48 hours depending on how far I've gotten on the order. However, I reserve the right to refuse order cancellations, or charge a 15% restocking fee, when I have already spent money purchasing supplies for an order and spent time working on it.
Please don't request a cancellation the week that your order will be shipping as the jewelry has already been made custom to the size you picked out by this time.
