Tattered Moth Earrings

Inspired by the juxtaposition of the bold patterning and wing fragility of the Death's-Head Hawkmoth, these earrings put a slightly delicate spin on the moth that's become synonymous with darkness in so many peoples minds. The enamel moths hang below tea-stained linen bows that pick up the rust color found within the moths themselves, while adding a slightly feminine touch to the overall earring.
