Walnut Studs

Handmade using recycled materials, these whimsical studs were made using a bit of walnut shell found in the Maryland mountainside. These earrings are handcrafted using recycled copper metal clay and are soldered onto recycled sterling silver posts. Earring sets come gift packaged in recycled and recyclable/ compostable/ reusable materials. . Inspired by the yearning to be closer and connected to the natural world, The Biophilia Collection is crafted from organic components found in the Maryland mountainside  and hand cast in my home studio using recycled sterling silver and copper metal clay.  Locally scavenged seeds, needles, leaves, fungus, branches and bark are the inspiration and forms for these whimsical pieces. I hope they allow you to feel closer to nature even when you are unable to immerse yourself in its wonders.
