Celebrate the hidden, delicate architecture of Florida's aquatic life with these exquisite drop earrings. These pieces feature the fin spine with its naturally articulated pterygiophore—a specialized arrangement of bones that supports the fin in a Catfish. The bones are exceptionally clean and white, highlighting the sophisticated, natural engineering of the specimen.
These earrings are the ultimate expression of delicacy and natural form. They measure 3 1/4 inches in total drop length and are finished with secure, high-quality 925 sterling silver circle lever back findings.
Please Note: Due to their delicate nature, these earrings are best suited for Fine Occasion Wear where they will be protected. They pair beautifully with an updo or structured neckline, creating a subtle but powerful statement that flows with movement.
The Story Behind the Piece
This piece is deeply rooted in the local culture and history of your area. The Catfish was harvested for food from local Florida waters—a sustainable source that ties directly to the natural environment Phillip and I enjoy. It is a perfect example of Wearable Conservation, transforming the byproduct of food harvesting into fine art. This piece honors the long tradition of fishing in the region and the incredible, often-overlooked beauty of the fish that inhabit it.
