Wildwood Reliquary
$27.00
These unique earrings feature real insects nestled among moss and delicate flowers, all perfectly preserved in crystal-clear resin. I found the insects deceased whilst helping a friend move. While my friend was embarrassed to find dead bugs under their couch, I was nothing short of thrilled: inspiration had struck.
Creating the stark contrast between life and death fueled my imagination in these earrings. Whatever muse found me that day was strong, as I finished both of these earrings in one single session without taking a single break. These earrings do have some heft to them, which may make them unsuitable for some.
Finished with 18k gold hooks.
