Harbingers of Spring!

Anyone who has lived in the Pacific Northwest is familiar with these brilliant purple shooting stars that carpet the forest floor in early spring!

Larkin meticulously hand-crafted these metal blooms from solid sterling silver, each as unique as their wild counterpart. They have been oxidized and polished, and Larkin polished the bottom ring just below the petals by hand to mirror that brighter band of yellow on the flower.

Wild shooting stars hang straight down from their stem, and these metal blossoms mimic that habit from the wearer’s earlobe. The petals are more delicate than most of Larkin's work! These earrings are best worn with short hair, or long hair that has been tied back to avoid tangling and pulling.

No two flowers or pairs will match perfectly— that is part of their charm!
