A study in texture, resilience, and the beauty of the unexpected.
Part of our "Invasive Elegance" series, these earrings feature genuine Armadillo scutes—the protective tiled armor of one of Florida’s most curious inhabitants. Paired with luminous Mother of Pearl, these earrings are a masterclass in neutral tones and architectural geometry.
✨ The Art of the Slow Cure
Armadillo scutes are notoriously difficult to work with. These specimens have undergone years of meticulous whitening and curation to reach a Grade A Museum finish. What was once part of a hardy, earth-toned shell has been transformed into a pristine, white tile that highlights the natural octagonal patterns and "tiled" portions inherent in the species' armor.
🌿 The Conservation Story
While native to South America, Armadillos are an invasive species in North America. At Bone Boutique, we believe in ecological balance. By reclaiming these shells, we turn an environmental challenge into a luxury resource, ensuring that even the most misunderstood creatures are honored through sustainable art.
