Elephant Seals

Photo-etching brings a subtle, rough-grained texture to the gold-tone brass, giving form to the scarred hide and exaggerated, inflated snout of a bull elephant seal. The design sets these massive pinnipeds within a solid framed silhouette that somehow preserves their heavy, grounded presence. Offered as both earrings and a brooch, it stands out in the Wild Bryde catalog as a rare look at one of the Pacific's largest marine mammals.
