The Story
The Tidal Cluster. There is a striking elegance waiting just beneath the surface of our local Florida waters. These earrings feature the cleithrum—a smooth, structural bone from the Florida Longnose Gar. Harvested locally for food, the studio claims the remains, ensuring that nothing of the animal's natural beauty is discarded. We call this Wearable Conservation—transforming a byproduct of the landscape into a delicate relic.
We have softened the sweeping, ivory-toned curve of the garfish bone with a tight, sculptural cluster of hand-sculpted white blossoms at the base. Centered with a single classic pearl, the flora creates a focal point of quiet, refined grace. It is a redemptive tribute to the ancient strength of the gar, reimagined as an ethereal, modern artifact of the Gulf Coast.
The Composition
A dramatic, sculptural design that honors the organic curve of ancient bone paired with the softness of a spring bloom.
The Bone: Hand-cleaned Florida Longnose Gar Cleithrum, selected for its porcelain-white finish and smooth organic texture.
The Blossom: A hand-sculpted cluster of three paper flowers per earring, featuring a central faux pearl accent.
The Metalwork: Elegant .925 silver-plated circle leverback findings and 8mm jump rings for secure, comfortable wear.
Length: A graceful and artistic 2 3/4-inch total drop.
Style & Wear
The "White Blossom Cleithrums" are remarkably lightweight, balancing substantial length with comfortable all-day wear. The monochrome effect of the stark white flowers against the porcelain-like bone creates a sophisticated, "modern heirloom" aesthetic. Designed for the collector who appreciates the "Wabi-Sabi" of the reclaimed—finding beauty in the unique imperfections of the natural world.
Price: $28.00
