“Selective”
Ears are odd when you really look at them. All folds and soft cartilage, sitting off to the side of the head. They’re always there but mostly peripheral — something we look past without thinking.
Still, we choose to decorate them. To draw attention to them. To make them move.
Black pearls collect like background noise, while a single white pearl shifts where an earring would be. Hearing just happens. Listening doesn’t.
Adornment points to what we decide to notice — and what we don’t.
“Selective” is a one of a kind hand fabricated sterling silver and copper bezel set ear brooch. The bezel supports a series of thirteen freshwater post set black pearls and one kinetic freshwater white pearl. The piece is finalized with a patina to highlight the detail and is worn as a brooch using the handmade sterling silver and 18 gauge spring steel mechanism. The piece measures approximately 3×1.75” and weighs 25 grams. The piece is signed, hallmarked and dated 2026. Flat rate insured and tracked USPS Ground Advantage shipping or USPS Priority shipping within the US. International shipping prices vary.
