Tripod Earrings - Silver

Sterling Silver TriPod Stud Earrings1/4" Dia- ear wires and posts are sterling silver These pod cluster earrings, also reminiscent of barnacles, were inspired by the round seed capsule of the Callistemon tree, also known as Bottlebrush. These drought-resistant trees are plentiful in my neighborhood, and their striking red flowers attract all kinds of pollinators.The design is carved in wax, cast, and polished to a high shine. The pods' interior is oxidized with a black patina, so the design stands out on your ear. I wanted to highlight the mighty little seed capsule, distilling nature’s diversity of textures, forms, and beautiful imperfections.You can find the Yellow Bronze version here.
