Architectural grace meets iridescent wonder.
These are not just earrings; they are a masterclass in organic engineering. Featuring the Atlas bone—the pivotal first vertebra of the Nine-Banded Armadillo—paired with the radiant, naturally metallic wings of the Jewel Beetle, these statement pieces are designed for the bold collector who wears their love for nature on their sleeve.
Despite their dramatic 4 ½ inch drop, these earrings are surprisingly light. The Atlas bone is a marvel of nature—strong enough to support a skull, yet aerodynamically hollow and light as a feather. When paired with the whisper-thin structure of the Jewel Beetle wings, you get a high-impact look that you can comfortably wear from a gallery opening to a holiday dinner.
🎨 Design & Specifications
The Specimen: Genuine, museum-whitened Armadillo Atlas bones (the "First Vertebra").
The Iridescence: 16mm x 27mm Jewel Beetle wings (Sternocera aequisignata), ethically sourced and naturally metallic (no dyes or paints).
Findings: Premium Titanium French style wires—the gold standard for extreme metal sensitivities and long-lasting durability.
Dimensions: A sweeping 4 ½ inch total drop from a 2 ½ inch teardrop silhouette.
Curation: Like all our bone work, these have undergone years of cleaning and whitening to achieve a bright, surgical-grade finish.
🌿 The "Images of Therapy" Philosophy
In our North Port studio, we see the Atlas bone as a symbol of the "pivot"—the point where we turn and face our challenges. By combining these bones with the shimmering beauty of the beetle, we celebrate the transformation of the "lost" into the "lustrous."
