These earrings are a striking and elegant expression of Wearable Conservation, transforming the naturally beautiful shape of the softshell turtle's scapular blade into a runway-ready statement piece. When these bones are ethically salvaged intact, they offer a unique and compelling canvas for art.
The earrings' design is defined by the bone's distinctive form—resembling a large, capital "L." Each earring features a single scapular blade, creating a bold four-inch drop that elongates the neck with a minimalist, modern aesthetic. The bones are a powerful testament to the artistry of nature.
For a secure and comfortable fit, the earrings are finished with 925 silver-plated circle lever-back findings, which add a touch of refined shine and ensure they stay perfectly in place. These are a beautiful choice for anyone who appreciates bold lines, natural forms, and a truly one-of-a-kind statement.
