Bull Kelp Earrings
There are SO MANY things to love about Bull Kelp. Forests of these large brown algae cover the ocean floor along the West Coast of the PNW and function as habitats for so many sea creatures. They also help capture carbon and clean nitrogen and phosphorous from fertilizer out of our oceans. Also, you can literally eat every part of it, and it is very nutritious. What's not to love!?
Our Bull Kelp earrings are made from second hand leather clothing, painted on both sides with a metallic leather paint and meticulously cut out by hand. Hanging from freshwater pearls, cultivated in clams. Choose between 14K gold-Plated Hooks (with matching findings) or Stainless Steel Hooks (with matching findings - not pictured).
