Handmade using recycled materials, these unique studs were made using scavenged seeds found in my backyard. In the spring these tiny seeds can be found spread all around the base of the trees, starting their journey with the help of small creatures moving about in the warmer weather. Each seed has its own small details and lived experience, providing a bit of texture to the slightly-pointed oval shaped studs. 

Each earring is handcrafted using recycled sterling silver or copper metal clay and is soldered to a recycled sterling silver post. These pair wonderfully with hoops or other studs. Earring sets come gift packaged in recycled and recyclable/ compostable/ reusable materials.

Inspired by the yearning to be closer and connected to the natural world, The Biophilia Collection is crafted from organic components found in the Maryland mountainside  and hand cast in my home studio using recycled sterling silver and copper metal clay. 

Locally scavenged seeds, needles, leaves, fungus, branches and bark are the inspiration and forms for these whimsical pieces. I hope they allow you to feel closer to nature even when you are unable to immerse yourself in its wonders.
