The Story
The Ivory Drape. Elegance is often found in the most overlooked places. These striking earrings feature the long, sweeping ribs of a Florida Softshell Turtle, personally salvaged by the studio following a roadside strike. By reclaiming these remains, we transform a moment of tragedy into a dramatic, living tribute to the architecture of the Suncoast.
We have paired the natural, porcelain-white curves of the ribs with delicate white paper roses and deep green foliage. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the raw, organic texture of the bone, creating a look that is both bridal and prehistoric. It is a bold statement in Wearable Conservation, proving that even in loss, nature provides a blueprint for breathtaking beauty.
The Composition
A dramatic, sweeping design that utilizes the natural length of the turtle rib for a high-impact, lightweight silhouette.
The Bone: Ethically salvaged Florida Softshell Turtle ribs, hand-cleaned and selected for their graceful length and ivory finish.
The Blossom: A crisp white paper rose with green leaf accents, creating a timeless "Florida Gothic" aesthetic.
The Metalwork: High-quality .925 silver-plated circle leverback findings for a secure, comfortable fit, attached with substantial 8mm silver-plated jump rings.
Length: A stunning 4-inch total drop.
Style & Wear
The "Ivory Drape" earrings are designed for the collector who loves a dramatic profile. Despite their impressive 4-inch length, the hollow-core nature of the rib makes them exceptionally lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. These are "Vavavoom" pieces—perfect for a gallery opening, a special event, or any moment where you want your jewelry to start a conversation about life, legacy, and the Florida wild.
