Plankton Organism

Planktonic crustaceans rarely appear in jewelry, but the photo-etching process is perfectly suited for rendering their microscopic, feathery appendages in gold-tone brass. The segmented body and trailing antennae read clearly despite the species ambiguity, creating a surprisingly accurate anatomical study of a drifting ocean organism. I almost never see these specific earrings surface on the secondary market.
