Gloria Lomas Cholla Cactus Earrings

These Gloria Lomas Cholla Cactus Dangling Ball Earrings are exotic. Gloria Lomas, who lived and loved in Miami and NYC, created a big bold style of jewelry with all kinds of inventive techniques. Many of the pieces that I acquired for my private collection were created from lichen, and tree mushrooms, that harden into wood and can be dried and painted and worked with like wood. Gloria had a large style presence in every room. Her aura was bright and bold. Her work was intricately made using natural materials, paint, stones, instinct, and glue. I admire her style and her strength.

These spectacular earrings are from a very creative mind. Using pieces of skeletal Cholla Cactus, with its elongated holes and lightweight body, have attached beaded balls hanging from the body and silver leaf touches. Pierced with Omega loop clip back.
