This piece of jewelry, cut from a discarded drum cymbal, is inspired by the late musician, D Boon. His DIY (Do It Yourself) approach to his music as well as his personal lifestyle has inspired and encouraged countless fans of Minutemen. Also, his signature guitar sound was said to be both "sharp and angular," which is reflected in the piece. It is my hope that the wearer of these earrings will be empowered by, what I believe, to be D Boon's legacy: To live life in your own authentic way. To embrace the unknown, and to create your own path, independent of what society tells you who you should be and what you should be doing. Follow your heart. Take a stand. And live your life the DIY way.
