These glinting handmade stud earrings are cast from a Catbrier thorn - a determined and tenacious climbing vine that forms dense thickets when left to its own devices. Tenacity and love. The feeling of a summer morning before the heat arrives.

Made of recycled 925 sterling silver or recycled 14k gold. Sustainable and unique for the nature lover.

Approximate measurements:

Thorn 0.47 x 0.12 inches / 12 x 3 mm

About Thicket:

Thicket is for anyone who has ever loved a small corner of landscape. Designer Rebecca Perea-Kane grew up in New England fascinated by wood frogs, painted turtles, and pitcher plants. After working for other independent jewelry and textile designers, and an MFA in poetry, Rebecca launched Thicket in 2014. 

Thicket pieces begin with a mold of found and foraged natural objects. This mold is used in the process of lost wax casting which creates perfect replicas of the original object in solid fine metal. The casting is done by an artisan casting house in New York City's jewelry district that specializes in working with recycled metals. From there each piece is made with heirloom care, by hand, in Thicket's sunny studio in Portland, Maine.
