SEA-OF-STARS.WHITE


A twisting batch of small, white, Freshwater Pearls gather together into one mass to reveal a singe teardrop cut Strawberry Quartz gemsone. Silver plate wire helps to bring the two together into a single form and the entire piece shakes and quivers as it moves, each rivulet of Pearl in SEA-OF-STARS one part of a whole. The set reminds one person of a deposit of octopus eggs.

White Freshwater Pearls are appx. 2-3 mm each.
All metal and hooks are Silver Plated.

SEA-OF-STARS.BLACK


A twisting batch of faceted Black Onyx gemstones gather together into one mass to reveal a singe Briolette cut Snow Quartz gemstone. Gunmetal helps to bring the two together into a single form and the entire piece shakes and quivers as it moves, each rivulet of Onyx in SEA-OF-STARS one part of a whole.

The Snow Quartz gemstone is in a Briolette (faceted teardrop) cut and had small flecks of gray throughout it.
Onyx gemstones are 3-4mm each.
All metal and hooks are Gunmetal.

BERRYBOMB.GREEN


Reminiscent of an big, unripened raspberry, the BERRYBOMB.GREEN earring is a cluster of Jade gemstones woven in a ball so that the inside remains hollow and light, suspended from Silver Plated hooks. A softer, earthy BERRYBOMB better for Spring and Summer.

Hooks are Silver Plated.

BERRYBOMB.BLACK


Reminiscent of an big, juicy blackberry, the BERRYBOMB.BLACK earring is a cluster of Onyx gemstones woven in a ball so that the inside remains hollow and light, suspended from Silver Plated hooks. Looks good enough to eat, but guaranteed not to drop juice onto your shoulders!

Hooks are Silver Plated.

Like twin bunches of ripe, red grapes hanging off of a wall, HARVEST is a bar of tan Mother of Pearl, reflecting browns and yellows. Giving an autumn-like feeling to the pair of gem drops beneath it, it is accompanied by Garnets, Black Onyxes, and Tourmalines. One of a kind, as the Mother of Pearl bar has been impossible for me to find; so only one HARVEST necklace will ever be made.

Chain length from top to bar is approximately 9 inches.

Seven round Black Onyxes crown on top, connecting to gunmetal chains, adapted from a Japanese jewelry technique.

PoppyEater has come to bloom!

PoppyEater is a pair of artists working out of their little niche in one of the greener parts of Brooklyn, New York. PoppyEater seeks to overlap their interests, skills, and materials in a single symbolic artform. As neither artists are professional taught in jewelry design, PoppyEater, in the future, will not be limited solely to beaded jewelry pieces.

You can see more images of the jewelry in our gallery at our Etsy shop. Thank you for visiting and enjoy! :D
