The Armadillo Hoops (TX)
The Dangling Hoops • Three handmade, one of a kind, sets of textured hoop and stone earrings. No filters necessary, these babies truly sparkle on their own ✨ Each textured band meticulously made in solid fine silver, and set with stones I collected on my journey home ✨
This listing is for The Armadillo Hoops.
Hoops textured from armadillo hung from bright Red Jasper stones set in scalloped bezels, to pay homage to the red landscapes of Palo Duro Canyon. Hung on hand formed 18g earring hooks, to be worn comfortably in standard piercings or through gauged tunnels. Given a patina to give it an antiqued, high contrast look, my maker's mark on the reverse of the stone.

My way of processing grief has always been: nature + metal. So, after the passing of my truest companion, Monster Truck, I took the road home, slow. Savoring every new and old road and trail. Letting myself feel small, and connected, and changed, and inspired. I came home and immediately got to work processing that energy, and all of the elements of nature that moved me on the journey, into something tangible and beautiful to share with all of you. Turning nature into metal is the ultimate medicine, and it lets me turn my grief into a shining piece of treasure for others to hold, and that is truly *powerful*. I am thrilled to release this offering to you here, now.
The collection pays homage to the roads I traversed, from CA•NV•AZ•NM•TX - with stones, natural materials, and textures, found and collected in the piece's accompanying state. ✨
