The Vibe: Gothic Geometry meets Florida Salvage If the "Bandito" drops are for the loud playlist, these are for the midnight gala held in a natural history museum. We’ve taken the architectural "band" portions of a Nine-Banded Armadillo’s armor—the scutes—and reimagined them as Art Deco-inspired ornaments. These aren't just earrings; they’re a wearable tessellation of the Florida landscape.
The Story of the Armor Armadillo scutes are a marvel of biological engineering—lightweight, incredibly strong, and patterned with a natural texture that no machine could replicate. These specific bands were salvaged from our local Florida runs, meticulously cleaned, and hand-selected for their symmetry. By pairing the organic, ivory-toned bone with the ornate weight of a pewter chandelier finding, we’ve created a look that is both ancient and avant-garde.
🎨 Design & Specifications
The Specimen: Genuine, hand-processed Nine-Banded Armadillo band scutes.
The Hardware: Intricate Pewter chandelier findings for a vintage, "heavy-metal" aesthetic.
Findings: 16mm x 27mm Titanium French-style ear wires—hypoallergenic and ready for all-day wear.
Dimensions: A substantial 3-inch drop that provides dramatic framing without the weight.
The Look: High-contrast, structured, and unapologetically "Bone Boutique."
🌿 Sustainable & Self-Aware Like everything in our shop, these scutes were ethically reclaimed from nature’s leftovers. We turn "road-stats" into high-fashion tributes, ensuring that nothing beautiful goes to waste. It’s conservation you can wear to dinner.
Price: $36.00 | One-of-a-kind.
