Designs inspired by the natural world have long been fashion’s purview. The latest twist on that trend? Animal-inspired earrings, ranging from delicate golden ants climbing up dangling crystals to show-stopping flamingo-topped plumes. These pieces from local shops will show you’re one with nature — or at least make you look hard to tame.
