The Story 💀
A striking, multi-tiered architectural design, these statement drop earrings feature genuine North American raccoon metacarpals stacked horizontally to create a clean, ladder-like silhouette. This geometric bone framework creates a bold, sculptural backdrop for a vibrant collection of gemstones, glass, and vintage artistry.
Solar-whitened in our studio, the three bone tiers alternate with deep blue lapis lazuli (6mm), sunny yellow glass (8mm), and soft aquamarine (8mm). The centerpiece at the base features vintage floral Cloisonné enamel beads capped with ornate antique silver filigree drops. Suspended from .925 silver-plated fishhook ear wires, these earrings blend fine osteology with colorful, artisan-crafted charm.
