Chambered Nautilus

Clean lines in the photo-etched gold-tone brass map out the logarithmic spiral and inner compartments of the chambered nautilus shell. These ancient cephalopods actually use those gas-filled chambers to regulate their buoyancy along deep oceanic slopes. I appreciate how Mike Warner simplified the dense cluster of outer tentacles, keeping the earrings lightweight while preserving the animal's unmistakable geometric profile.
