These "Bubble Bait" earrings are inspired by the plastics in the ocean. Sea creatures often mistake plastic waste as food, causing them to suffocate or inhale toxins of chemicals. The shine of the hammered texture on the wire and the sparkle of the bubble wrap and beads is meant to act as bait for the fish, like a fishing lure. This could also be bait for us humans because of the texture and sound the plastic makes, it lures us to touch and pop the bubble wrap.
