The Story: An Ode to Imperfection
Originally designed in early 2020, these studs were set aside for years because they didn't fit a "traditional" aesthetic. Today, we bring them out of the vault to celebrate Wabi-Sabi—the beauty of things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. This matching set of Wild Boar carpels (wrist bones) tells a story of survival. One bone shows signs of natural pathology—perhaps the beginning of bone disease or simply the mark of a long life lived in the Florida wild. We don't hide these "ragged" edges; we highlight them as a testament to the animal's legacy.
The Composition
The Specimen: A matching set of Wild Boar carpels, salvaged through sustainable harvest for food or as roadside remnants, preventing these beautiful structures from being lost to a landfill.
The Design: A bold, "chunky" 80s-inspired stud profile that makes a substantial statement on the ear.
The Finish: Solar-whitened and preserved to maintain the natural "hills and valleys" of the bone texture.
The Hardware: High-quality, hypoallergenic stud posts. 8mm Stainless.
The Profile: A solid 1-inch diameter with a comfortable, secure fit.
Style & Wear
These are for the collector who appreciates the raw, unedited side of nature. The chunky profile gives a nod to vintage 1980s glamour, but the material is purely primal. Pair them with anything from a power suit to a denim jacket—they are meant to be noticed and discussed.
The Investment
Curation Price: $21
The Legacy: A January 2020 archival design. Hand-crafted in North Port, Florida by Michele Moore.
