i made these earrings with a piece of coral while visiting st. petersburg beach where my friend got married. this coral is really special to me...i found it as one piece. it was conjoined at the ends with a almond shaped negative space running between the two halfs. originally i thought it would become a necklace but the color, wabi-sabi imbalance and surface, with its prominent "eyes" deemed it perfect for these earrings.
