For The "Not a Drop of Venom Wasted" Collection I wanted to breath some fresh life into my classic Venom pieces. To do something that reminds me, while initially designed with my muse serpent Erzulie in mind, now, these pieces can take on MORE of a life of their own.
 
This listing is for one of my most requested pieces, The SCORPION VENOM HOOPS, that I vowed to ever only make 6 pairs of. I have held true to this, but decided to find a compromise, to use my now classic Venom design, but instead of snake shed, it contains a warm and eye catching piece of Tiger's Eye. The unique double diamond of sterling silver roped wire and hand formed balls adorn and draw your attention to the mesmerizing stone.
 
The pendant rests on a large hoop earring, in a crescent design, made out of 10g sterling silver, framed on either side by intricate, indiviually hand "cast" fine silver scorpions, from scorpions a friend found in nature and gifted me, and simple "square eye-esque" stamp details. ✨
 
This pair made as WEIGHTS, for gauged ears (can also be worn through tunnels). 
 
The earrings are given a patina to give them an antiqued, high contrast look, and then brought to a nice shine. 
 
>>> Scorpions are another powerful totem. They carry many of the same strengths and messages as a snake. They are patient, intutive, fierce when threatened with danger, as well as good with boundaries and controlling the energy they expel, they also have the ability to shed their skin and emerge new after much growth. Along with these qualities, I believe carrying a scorpion talisman is a good reminder of focusing on what you carry, and making sure to release old habits and behaviors that no longer deserve to come on your journey. <<<
