Description
Real ferns, printed with sunlight on maple wood.
Each pair begins with hay-scented ferns arranged by hand and exposed to the sun using the historic cyanotype process. The plant blocks the light, leaving a pale, delicate silhouette against deep blue. Every fern is different, so no two pairs are identical. Afterward, they're sealed and ready for everyday wear.
The small oval shape makes these an easy everyday earring: lightweight and understated, with enough detail to make each pair distinctive.
Choose your style:
- Single fern pair: A single fern on each earring.
- Double fern pair: Two ferns on each earring.
- Mixed fern pair: An asymmetrical pair with one single fern earring and one double fern earring.
The shapes, placement, and details will vary within your chosen style.
Each pair comes with a herbarium-inspired botanical card.
Materials:
- sterling silver ear wires
- maple wood
Fun fact: Eastern hay-scented fern gets its name from its hay-like scent, especially noticeable in fall as the fronds turn yellow-brown.
