Mermaid Ear Cuff
Pearls have a long history in contrasting emotions. Formed from a natural irritant within the shell, nacre is poured over to smooth the intruder and make it more comfortable inside the shell, resulting in a beautiful ball around of alien object. They have a balance of creation and destruction, protection and deformation.
Mermaids also have this conflicting balance- being beautiful creatures but who lure sailors to the rocks to their deaths. This mermaid curls around the ear, treating the ear like the rock it is usually pictured perched upon. The mermaid reaches around the ear for a pearl, which moves as you move, bringing life to the rich and enticing history of these gemstones.
