Sometimes, the studio vibe isn't about "perfectly curated museum silence"—it’s about a loud playlist and a pair of earrings that can keep up. These began as an experiment in balance: taking the rugged, curved tibia of a Nine-Banded Armadillo and giving it a "glow-up" with a shock of electric teal. It’s a little bit desert-chic, a little bit Florida-swamp-fancy, and 100% Bone Boutique attitude. If you want to look like you just walked out of a high-end gallery but have the soul of someone who pulls over for roadkill, these are for you.
The Story of the Bone
We call this "The Art of the Pivot." These tibias were reclaimed from one of our local Florida salvage runs—bones that were destined to be forgotten in the grass, now meticulously whitened and stabilized in-house. While the armadillo’s armor usually gets all the credit, we think their leg bones have a "robust grace" that deserves the spotlight. To bridge the gap between "scientific specimen" and "high fashion," we’ve paired the natural ivory of the bone with a heavy-duty teal tassel that adds movement and just enough "extra" to make people stare.

🌿 Sustainable & Self-Aware
As always, these are ethically salvaged. We don't believe in waste, and we certainly don't believe in boring jewelry. By wearing these, you’re participating in a cycle of conservation that turns a Florida road-stat into a wearable tribute. It’s high-fashion with a conscience and a sense of humor.
