This pair of earrings offers a beautiful continuation of the poignant story of the miniature colt, Ray of Sunshine. These drops feature the intricate, naturally porous epiphysis bone fragments—the delicate pieces that remained after the colt's skeleton was meticulously assembled for articulation.
The stunning natural texture of the bone is contrasted with shimmering, faceted lavender-blue glass beads that add a cool, ethereal light to the piece. The faceted shapes of the glass play beautifully against the complex, organic structure of the bone, creating an engaging visual "osteo-assemblage."
The earrings measure 3 inches in total length and are finished with secure, high-quality 925 sterling silver fish hook findings. Wearing this piece is carrying a gentle, luminous memorial and promoting the core values of Wearable Conservation.
The Story Behind the Piece
This piece is a unique part of the legacy of Ray of Sunshine, a miniature colt who passed away tragically young. While the majority of his remains are conserved in tribute (currently articulated and awaiting his mother's remains), these smaller, crucial pieces ensure that every fragment of his short life is honored. These earrings symbolize the light and hope associated with his name, making them a personal and profound accessory.
