PRE-ORDER Carapace Shield Earrings - Brass
I've been working on a Shield Collection. Shields and tiny armor have been a prominent theme in my work, more and more... (I wonder why). I'm feeling called to make protective, BIG, BOLD earrings. I'm so glad these resonated with so many of you when I shared a sneak peek on social media!
I asked what I should name these and many wrote that it reminded them of horseshoe crabs or turtles... hence the Carapace - the hard protective shell found on the backs of animals like tortoises, crabs, and other arthropods.
While large at 2" in diameter, these are still lightweight and comfortable. I love hammering the rivet-like marks - so satisfying! I'm excited to offer these as a pre-order so I know just how many to make! It will take 1-2 weeks for us to make them (in the order we receive your order).
