Inspiration Behind the Piece
These handcrafted earrings feature a turquoise bead topping mount Crested Butte, all made from recycled sterling silver. Every element is carefully shaped by hand—from hammering and sawing to stamping, sanding, and polishing—resulting in a slightly matte finish that feels organic and timeless.
This piece is a quiet nod to the wild landscapes that inspire my work here in Crested Butte, Colorado. Lightweight and easy to wear, it’s made for everyday adventures.
