The Story & Sustainable Sourcing
These asymmetric stud-and-dangle earrings feature an authentic catfish pectoral fin spine, ethically salvaged as a byproduct of local sustainable fishing and food harvesting. Cleaned and preserved, the bone is paired with soft, translucent quartz cabochons for a unique natural history aesthetic.
Composition & Craftsmanship
Bone Specimen: Authentic, ethically salvaged catfish pectoral fin spine (dangled on one earring).
Gemstones: Smooth, freeform-cut translucent pale quartz cabochons.
Earring Style: Asymmetrical pair—one stud-only stone and one stud with a bone drop element.
Total Drop Length: 3 inches on the statement drop earring; stud-only side fits flush to the lobe.
Hardware: 10 mm surgical steel flat-pad post studs for sensitive ears, anchored with a silver-tone glue-on bail and jump ring connection.
Style & Display
The organic contrast of smooth, milky quartz and the sharp, sculpted line of the catfish spine creates a bold statement. The subtle asymmetry gives them an edge, whether worn as a main pair or mixed with other studs.
