Adorn yourself with a piece of ancient history with our American Alligator Osteoderm Earrings. Handcrafted, these earrings feature ethically sourced American alligator osteoderms, transforming remnants of a powerful and ancient species into a striking piece of wearable art.
Each earring showcases a 1-inch American alligator osteoderm. Osteoderms are bony plates that lie within the skin of alligators, providing them with natural armor. These intricate plates, often overlooked, are a testament to the resilience and strength of these remarkable creatures.
The sourcing of these osteoderms tells a unique story. In 2024, our local North Port, Florida roads saw an unusually high number of alligators crossing, likely due to environmental disruptions from hurricanes. We responsibly salvaged these osteoderms, giving them a second life as art.
These earrings are more than just adornment; they are a connection to an ancient lineage. Alligators have remained relatively unchanged for millions of years, representing a living link to the prehistoric world. By wearing these osteoderms, you carry a piece of that enduring spirit and power.
Finished with 925 silver-plated fish hook style findings, these earrings measure 2 inches in total length, offering a unique and captivating statement.
