Dendritic Earrings by Bryan Hansen Metals

The Maker:  Bryan Hansen grew up in Minnesota, studied at the Maine College of Art and now calls both places home.  I have been wearing his jewelry for years and years and am so excited to be able to share it with you! The Work: I’ve been dying to make a pair of antler earrings for awhile now and I just couldn’t get past how I would do the earwire and mechanism in an interesting or meaningful way. And then it hit me - I would solve this problem by utilizing the antler’s structure in the design. I love antlers, I always have. There just something so enticing about them. Their simultaneous symmetry and chaos in their form. To me, they feel as though they hold something from the animal world within them - some secret power. Embrace the wild and adorn yourself with these beautiful antler shed earrings.   2 x 1"
