Hugh and Hazel- Decorative Death Earrings

Handcrafted earrings made from upcycled materials. Each is literally a one-of-a-kind creation designed with attention to detail, reflecting the beauty and horror of life and creatively symbolizing the poetry that is each individual human life and death.

Hugh and Hazel lived quiet, routine lives—same jobs, same meals, same small talk, never straying far from what they knew. They never sought adventure, never questioned much, never made a mark. One evening, driving home past the glow of neon diner signs they’d never stopped to notice, their car was struck by a motorcycle ridden by a man named Herbert, who lived fast, loud, and full of ideas. In an instant, all three were gone—Hugh and Hazel, who had never really changed, and Herbert, who had burned bright until the very end.
