Experience the unique natural armor of the Florida Longnose Garfish with these delicate, micro-scale drop earrings. Unlike typical fish scales, the Garfish is covered in diamond-shaped, bone-like structures called ganoid scales, giving these pieces a shimmering, primitive quality.
Each earring features multiple tiny, less than half-inch scales, meticulously drilled and attached to a decorative, teardrop-shaped connector that has five loops. The scales dangle lightly, catching the light like tiny pieces of natural jewelry.
With a comfortable drop of just under 2 inches (including the finding), these are the perfect size for everyday wear, offering a subtle yet fascinating conversation starter. The earrings are finished with 925 sterling silver fish hook findings and 6mm silver-plated accents.
The Story Behind the Piece
This piece is a celebration of your local aquatic environment and ethical sourcing from the heart of North Port. These scales are conserved from Garfish harvested locally for food, often caught right from your fishing kayaks at the Senator Bob Johnson Landing, or generously donated by fellow anglers. By utilizing these unique scales—a byproduct usually discarded—we uphold the principle of Wearable Conservation and honor the resources provided by local waters. It is a true connection to the history of fishing in the area.
