Earrings - "Dandelion by the Ocean"

“Mother Nature seldom gives us perfectly straight lines or flawlessly shiny surfaces. Mother Nature is best at being raw, visceral and atmospheric.”

These earrings were inspired by the best of Mother Nature’s gifts.

COMPONENTS: I applied Grand Manan patina to the brass components of these earrings - first, I coated them with natural ingredients and left them in the open, salty air at the Island. The patina is raw, meaning there will be very slight variations in it over time, as if the metal were “alive”. I then holed them and scored them - for a more natural, organic feel. The effect is earthy. Tiny brass drops at the bottom of the dangles add subtle femininity.

These earrings will sway gently as you move, in a natural, sensual way.

Suspended from stainless steel, handmade earwires. You have a choice here (see last photo):

Option A - Kite Stainless Steel with plastic backs

OR

Option B - Almond Stainless Steel with closure - please select at CHECKOUT

In Summer, dandelions on Grand Manan Island dot the the coastal landscape with their yellow faces, and complete the rainbow of colour in local meadows and along beach paths. When they come to seed, their feathery children are lifted above the land by the salty breeze, and they fly above the ocean’s sparkling surface to destinations meant to be their home - to grow and tell stories of what they heard and saw on Grand Manan Island.

DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) 2 1/4”, 5.7 cm (slightly longer if you pick Option B for earwires).

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

  1. Do not submerge the earrings. Doing so will alter the patina. If the earrings get wet, dab the moisture away gently with tissue

  2. Please note that different monitors display colour in different ways - some more and some less vibrant.

FREE SHIPPING - This item will ship from either New Brunswick or Ontario.
