ANNA JOHNSON | KALMIA EARRINGS | STERLING SILVER

The Kalmia Earrings from Anna Johnson are an extraordinary work of wearable art that transcends the boundaries of fine jewelry and sculptural expression. Named for the mountain laurel — a beloved wildflower native to the Appalachian landscape — these deeply intentional earrings are composed of teeth, cherry moonstone, topaz, depletion gilded silver, and actual mountain laurel, bringing the raw, organic beauty of the natural world into intimate, adornment-worthy form. At once botanical and elemental, precious and found, the Kalmia Earrings embody Anna Johnson's celebrated philosophy of honoring holistic life cycles, intra-nature relationships, and the profound connectivity between the human and natural worlds. The luminous cherry moonstone and warm topaz catch the light with a delicate, otherworldly brilliance, while the depletion gilded silver and found organic materials ground the composition in quiet, contemplative depth. A nationally exhibited and critically recognized work by Asheville-based studio jeweler Anna Johnson, whose BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design from Appalachian State University informs every deeply considered detail of her extraordinary practice. A truly once-in-a-lifetime collector's piece for the most discerning fine jewelry connoisseur and wearable art lover.
