Water Droplet Earrings

Water Droplet Earrings

Inspired by the beauty and movement of water, these elegant sterling silver Water Droplet earrings are handcrafted by Irina Rypina, a physical oceanographer and Senior Scientist in WHOI's Physical Oceanography Department.

Irina's research focuses on ocean circulation and the transport of water masses, temperature, salinity, marine life, pollutants, and other tracers carried by ocean currents. Beyond her scientific work, she expresses her love of the ocean through jewelry-making, creating pieces that capture the grace and simplicity of the natural world.

These timeless earrings, made from sterling silver with secure leverback ear wires,  reflect the elegance of a single drop of water and celebrate the unique intersection of ocean science and artistry at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
