The Story
The Original Spark. The armadillo was the very first species that sparked my journey into osteological art, and its anatomy never ceases to amaze. These earrings feature the caudal (tail) vertebrae of a Florida armadillo—bones that naturally mimic the sleek, symmetrical lines of a starship from a galaxy far, far away.
To celebrate this "founding species" of the studio, we have flanked the bones with a vibrant parade of multi-colored polymer clay flowers and bright 4mm yellow glass beads. It is a playful, high-energy tribute to the creatures that scuttle through our Florida scrub, reimagined as a piece of Wearable Conservation that is as much a conversation starter as it is a work of art.
The Composition
A colorful, geometric design that highlights the futuristic natural architecture of the armadillo's tail.
The Bone: Ethically salvaged Florida armadillo caudal (tail) vertebrae, hand-cleaned and selected for their unique, symmetrical "starship" shape.
The Details: Bright 4mm yellow glass beads and a curated mix of colorful polymer clay floral beads.
The Metalwork: High-quality .925 silver-plated fish hook findings with 3mm x 4mm silver-plated oval jump rings.
Length: A playful 3-inch total drop.
Style & Wear
The "Armadillo Starships" are pure joy. Their bold colors and unusual bone geometry make them the perfect "statement" earrings for someone who loves to blend natural history with a whimsical, "Vavavoom" aesthetic. Despite their detailed appearance, the bones are incredibly light, making them perfect for a full day of sunshine and compliments.
Price: $24.00
