“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: To all of the raw brass components of these earrings, we applied the Grand Manan patina, - we coated them with natural ingredients and left them in the open, salty air of the Island. The patina is raw, meaning there will be very slight variations in it over time, as if the metal were “alive”. The effect is natural and earthy. The teardrop shapes have a starburst edge around the inside opening - for more interest. These shapes are wafer-thin (see a couple of the photos) so the earrings look substantial but are exceedingly light. Be gentle with them.
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
Grand Manan Island is synonymous with the tide - the ever-present pulse of the Bay of Fundy that gives the island its unique and very beautiful coastal landscape. Ebb and flow, ebb and flow, like a heartbeat - exposing intertidal areas and providing life-giving sustenance to creatures both above and below the waves. A rhythm for the fishermen too.
DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) 2 7/8”, 7.2 cm (slightly longer if you pick Option B for earwires).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Do not submerge the earrings. Doing so may alter the patina. If the earrings get wet, dab the moisture away gently with tissue.
PLEASE NOTE that the photos are of a sample pair of earrings. Yours will be as close to the images as possible, bearing in mind that patina never duplicates in exactly the same way.
FREE SHIPPING - This item will ship from either New Brunswick or Ontario.
