Lingua Nigra cicada drop earrings

Lingua Nigra's process embraces chance through unpredictable metalsmithing processes. While the shape remains uniform, each piece will have a unique texture that cannot be duplicated. 22k gold is plated over brass to achieve a rich, vibrant gold. These earrings are made made from a wax cast, which provides organic depth to their gold-plated surfaces.
