The Story
The Suncoast Fan. There is a hidden, architectural grace in the anatomy of Florida’s softshell turtles that usually remains unseen. These earrings feature the ischium—a fan-like bone from the pelvic girdle—personally salvaged by the studio following a roadside accident. In the hands of a Resurrectionist, this artifact of loss is reclaimed and transformed into a symbol of delicate resilience.
We have paired the broad, ivory-toned "fan" of the bone with a lush arrangement of pink paper blossoms. Each flower is finished with a soft-glow faux pearl, creating a vibrant, textural contrast against the porcelain-white bone. It is a redemptive tribute to a life salvaged, reimagined as a sophisticated, wearable artifact of the Florida landscape.
The Composition
A refined, textural design that balances the bold structural lines of the softshell turtle bone with the softness of a spring garden.
The Bone: Ethically salvaged Florida Softshell Turtle Ischium, hand-cleaned and selected for its unique fan-like shape and smooth finish.
The Blossom: Layered pink paper flowers accented with delicate faux pearls.
The Metalwork: High-quality .925 silver-plated circle leverback findings and 8mm jump rings for a secure, comfortable fit.
Length: A graceful 2-inch total drop.
Style & Wear
The "Pink Ischium Blooms" are exceptionally lightweight, allowing the bold, wide silhouette of the bone to take center stage without any added weight. The contrast of the deep pink against the bright white bone creates a modern, sophisticated aesthetic that "screams Florida" in the best way possible. Perfect for the collector who finds beauty in the storied and the salvaged.
