These earrings are inspired by Licmophora—a fan-shaped sea algae found in the Salish Sea and other places in the world.

Microscopic, delicate, and architectural, Licmophora lives attached to kelp, eelgrass, and rocks in cold, clean coastal waters, quietly doing the work of photosynthesis that supports the entire marine food web.
 
I love translating these unseen forms into something you can hold and wear. They are a small reminder of the intricate life thriving just beneath the surface of our inland sea.
 
Made to order. Hand-cut and textured, each pair is slightly different, like the algae themselves. Sterling silver handmade ear wires. Featherlight aluminum pendant—hand-cut, etched, and texture .
