Inch-wide slices of lacy sweetgum, like both a flower and a star, form the unique shape for a stunning pair of earrings.
Bronze earrings with sterling silver posts and backs. 1" diameter.
Says Merzatta about their innovative Sweetgum collection: “The prickly brown fruit so many of us remember from our childhood backyards reveals incredible textures when altered. Carving away the exterior spikes reveals the honeycomb structure underneath, and sliced, it turns into a button of sophisticated organic lace. It's been amazing to unlock the hidden textures in this one with a jewelry saw, where you’ll find they’re full of lace. Or carve away the spikes, and you’ll find a whole structure of hidden caves. We love playing with these slices and carvings of nature’s lace. And we love that such a common object has so much to reveal."
