Each earring is handmade one at a time from real barnacles found on East Sandwich beach in Cape Cod. Every mermaid needs a pair!
Your Choice of Bronze or Fine Silver
both come on sterling silver posts and backs
Each piece of my jewlery is handcrafted one at a time from start to finish, meaning no two pieces will be exacly alike. Yes your earrings will match but my process is quite organic so please allow for tiny variances. There is beauty in imperfection, and little inclusions like a finger print here or there are the mark of the artist. The natural elements I use are made from molds I have made from my finds on the beaches of Cape Cod. A lot of love and intention goes into making each piece and that's what makes them special. My process is meaningful and you'll feel that when you hold my work in your hand, much more than you would with a less expensive, machine manufactured piece.
GoGreen! : The metal in the clays I use are from recycyled materials like scrap jewelry, electronics like cell phones, monitors, and computers, x-rays, photographic film and industrial waste. My suppliers are focused on using environmentally ethical methods to create their products.

Barnacle Earrings
Your gold filled / streling silver chain is very delicate. It should be strong enough for normail wear but please avoid wearing your jewelry to bed, in the shower, or when swimming or exercising. Please do not use jewelry cleaning solution or chemicals, as the can strip the gold layer on your chain. Avoid contact with perfumes, oils, lotions and hairspray as the can tarnish your necklace. Natural oxidation will occur and will add to the uniqueness of your piece, but if you like a simple polishing cloth may be used to return the original shine. Please conatct me with any questions, I hope you treasure your wearable art.

It is common to confuse precious metal allergies with irritation from some other source which are often overlooked including dirty or ill-fitting jewelry.

For example, some rhodium and gold plating has a barrier-plate of nickel - a common metal which can trigger allergies
