“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 hammered slender raw brass hoops and inside them, I suspended raw brass circles and half-moons, hammered and scratched for more interest. Both are covered in the Grand Manan patina - the result of applying to them different natural ingredients and then leaving them in the open, salty air of the island to “age”. Finished off with tiny brass teardrop dangles. Hanging on stainless steel, handmade earwires.
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
Fishing remains a mainstay on Grand Manan Island. Visit us and you will see fishing boats everywhere and hardworking folks who continue to work through the seasons. These earrings are a tribute to all the daughters of the Island’s fishermen.
DIMENSIONS: Overall length (from top of earwire to lowest part of earrings) 2 1/2"”, 6.3 cm (slightly shorter if you pick Option A for earwires).
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Do not submerge the earrings as that may alter the patina. If the earrings get wet, dab the moisture away gently with tissue.
FREE SHIPPING - This item will ship from either New Brunswick or Ontario.
