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.

i made this piece about 9 years ago for my mother in law. one of my earliest multi-pendant necklaces. it was fun to see this piece a few weeks ago when my mother in law brought it with her to visit. i still really liked it after all this time which really surprised me...normally i'm way on to the next and newest creations.
