The Gilded Anchor.
Found within the pectoral girdle of the Florida Softshell Turtle, the procoracoid is a bone defined by its elegant, sweeping curves and surprising structural strength. Because these specimens were too robust for a jump ring, they have been hand-wrapped in non-tarnish gold-tone wire.
This artisan wrapping technique allows the bone to sit securely while providing a sleek, golden framework for its matte ivory surface. Adorned with delicate pink paper blossoms and vibrant green foliage, these earrings are a vivid, redemptive tribute to the Florida Suncoast. It is Wearable Conservation at its most sophisticated—transforming a hidden architectural element of the wild into a high-fashion statement.
The Composition
A dramatic, sweeping design that showcases artisan hand-wiring and the natural elegance of the Softshell Turtle.
The Bone: Ethically salvaged Florida Softshell Turtle procoracoid bones, hand-cleaned and selected for their unique, anchor-like geometry.
The Blossom: Petite pink paper roses with deep green leaf accents.
The Metalwork: Premium 18k gold-plated stainless steel 17mm kidney findings for a secure, elegant "infinity" look; hand-wrapped with professional non-tarnish gold-tone jewelry wire.
Length: A striking 4.5-inch total drop.
Style & Wear
The "Gilded Procoracoid" earrings offer one of the most dramatic silhouettes in the collection. Despite their impressive 4.5-inch length and sturdy appearance, they remain exceptionally lightweight, making them perfect for all-day wear. The kidney-style finding ensures they stay perfectly in place, making these the ideal choice for an outdoor gallery walk or a sunset dinner on the coast.
