These amazing little specimens came to me by accident, when a friend and creative collaborator sent me a stingray she had found on the beach. The ray was a day or so old when found, and had gone straight into the formalin before coming to me. I’d noticed that the ray had had some chunks eaten away from the underside gills, but had no idea that almost the whole insides had been eaten out too until I started preparing it!
I carefully removed all the little sand lice from the body, and thought they’d definitely make something beautiful! So it just might be your ears :)

It’s really hard to catch on camera just how intricate and incredible these little guys are, but I did get a couple of half decent detailed shots from some of the ones in the globes, so I’ve included the images here as a reference.

The earrings are 8mm wide by 30mm long, and are sold as pairs.

Side note, I’m guessing that the tiny violet dots could be eggs? I tried a cursory google search to find a reference, but all it gave me was pictures of kids combing firm parts in their hair. I’ll update if I learn more!
