'Til Death Do Us Part Earrings

This pair of swan earrings is inspired by an inseparable swan couple that frequented a canal I once lived by until someone cruelly killed one of them, leaving its mate all alone. Red beads cascade from the enamel swan heads, adding beauty and movement while also mimicking the blood so often splashed back onto human hands due to our treatment of animals and the natural world around us.
