The Story
The Dramatic Flare. The Florida Softshell Turtle possesses an anatomical elegance that is often hidden from view. These earrings feature the turtle’s tibia—a bone characterized by a stunning, exaggerated taper. It begins narrow and delicate at the top and sweeps down into a broad, rounded base, creating a natural "teardrop" silhouette that is both bold and graceful.
Because the bone is substantial and robust at its widest point, I chose to meticulously hand-wrap the tops in premium rose gold-toned wire. This adds a warm, metallic luster that perfectly complements the stark, clean white of the bone. Each piece is finished with a petite white rose and deep green foliage, transforming a piece of heavy anatomy into a lightweight, redemptive work of Wearable Conservation.
The Composition A high-impact, vertical design that celebrates the unique flared geometry of the Softshell Turtle.
The Bone: Ethically salvaged Florida Softshell Turtle tibia, hand-cleaned to a brilliant white finish.
The Blossom: A classic white paper rose with botanical green leaf accents.
The Metalwork: Premium rose gold-toned, nickel-free fish hook findings; hand-wrapped with professional-grade non-tarnish rose gold wire.
Length: A dramatic 3.5-inch drop.
Style & Wear
The "Rose Gold Tibia" earrings are designed for the collector who loves a strong, sculptural silhouette. The way the bone flares toward the shoulder makes these incredibly eye-catching, yet they remain light enough to never pull on the ear. The rose gold finish adds a touch of modern romance to the "Florida Gothic" aesthetic, making them perfect for gallery openings or special evenings out.
