Framed Manatee Earrings

Photo-etching captures the texture of the West Indian manatee's wrinkled skin without sacrificing its smooth, rounded silhouette. Set inside a clean open-drop frame, the gentle sea cow shows off its broad paddle tail and barrel-shaped torso. I really appreciate how Mike Warner framed this design in both gold tone and sterling silver, giving the slow-swimming mammal a quiet, composed look.
