A pair of boa constrictor ribs have been re-assigned a new identity as sterling earrings. The molding of the real rib captured every small detail of the natural shape, and texture of the bones. Hand oxidized to achieve a graduated shade of deep gray black to the paleness of the silver with a stain finish.

Despite the length, these earrings are surprisingly light weight, and have sterling posts. The curve of the rib follows the curve of the face, creating a dynamic look of the ribs against the jaw bone/neck.

Inspired by my deep fascination with snakes and their potent ability to seemingly exist between worlds, and my interest in rib bones, bones that literally cage and protect the heart.
