Mountain Gorilla Nose Print Earrings
Researchers identify individual mountain gorillas by their unique nose prints, the pattern of wrinkles around and above their nostrils. As jewelry they make interesting abstract patterns. Two individuals are represented here, Beetsme and Puck. Both gorillas are members of research groups studied in the Karisoke Research Station in Rwanda. These pieces can be made as dangle earrings (see Beetsme), studs, cufflinks or any other form you might find useful... just ask.
