Dive into the realm of abstract artistry with our Bullhead Catfish Vertebrae & Freshwater Pearl Earrings, a captivating blend of organic forms and contemporary design. Handcrafted by Michele Moore, these earrings are an exploration of texture, form, and the unexpected beauty found in the depths of nature.
Each earring features a carefully curated arrangement of bullhead catfish vertebrae, left in their natural state to showcase their unique structures. The design begins with a 15mm gold-colored potato freshwater pearl, followed by a caudal vertebra with its spine and rib extending upward, creating a striking visual element. Another 15mm gold-colored pearl is followed by a trunk vertebra with its spine intact. The arrangement continues with a smaller freshwater pearl and vertebra, culminating in an 8mm black freshwater pearl at the top.
The vertebrae, ethically sourced from a bullhead catfish harvested for food, are left unaltered, highlighting their natural beauty and intricate details. The gold and black freshwater pearls add a touch of elegance and contrast, creating a captivating visual harmony. The earrings are finished with 925 silver-plated circle lever-back findings, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
These earrings are more than just adornment; they are an interactive piece of art. The delicate spines of the vertebrae move with you, creating a dynamic and engaging experience. Should a spine break, the design transforms, creating a new and equally unique piece. This is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of art and the beauty found in imperfection.
