One-of-a-kind Fishbone earrings in 14k yellow gold with 18 cts. t.w. vesuvianite, 8 cts. t.w. turquoise, and 5.06 cts. t.w. spinel, $5,600; Eden Presley
It may seem counterintuitive to revisit a summer fashion icon as pumpkin season begins, but one look at Eden Presley’s Fishbone earrings proves why seasonality might be irrelevant when design and craftsmanship collide.
At first glance, they’re playful—a callback to this year’s Sardine Girl Summer. But these earrings don’t just live on TikTok trends. They demand attention with a construction that rewards every second of study, turning whimsy into something undeniably collectible.
The Anatomy of a Statement Piece
Building on Eden Presley’s popular Swedish Fish collection, this one-of-a-kind pair uses bubblegum pink spinel and dreamy turquoise for the fish’s body, while the head glows with a vibrant, unusual stone: bright yellow vesuvianite.
Designer Gwen Myers says the choice was instinctual:
“How could I not? It’s so happy—I fell in love with the color.”
Each gemstone is carefully matched and placed with precision, giving the earrings symmetry and balance despite their playful subject matter. The result? Major Miami Beach vibes that defy seasonal wardrobes.
Beyond Fins and Flash
For those less fish-inclined, Myers has also created vesuvianite earrings in sunnier but subtler styles. Vesuvianite itself is rarely seen in contemporary jewelry, which makes its bold presence here both refreshing and disruptive.
And that’s the point: in a market where lab grown diamonds dominate headlines for affordability and ethics, Eden Presley’s choice of rare, vivid gems asks a bigger question—do collectors still crave the unusual, even when “simulated sparkle” is the norm?
The Verdict
Playful? Yes. Serious? Absolutely. The Fishbone earrings are proof that even in an industry tugged between social-media-driven trends and sustainable innovation, there’s still a place for pieces that fuse storytelling with impeccable execution. Whoever lands this pair won’t regret it when winter dulls the color palette outside.
