Queen of the Damned Aaliyah-Inspired Statement Earrings

June 2025's inspiration was Aaliyah, and I went straight to her role as the vampire Queen Akasha in Queen of the Damned. Vampire royalty? Yes please.

The inspiration behind these handmade statement earrings

Subscribers got a smoky black pearlescent version. The pair in the shop is a warm brown tortoiseshell variant, just as pearly and glowy. Same drama, different flavor. I actually forgot what color I went with for which. Each pair of earrings comes with the following card insert and you can see exactly where the inspiration was taken from the head piece.

How I make my acrylic earrings in Austin

Like every Statement Earring Society box, this one started as a drawing. Once I was happy with the design, I made the acrylic pieces right here in my Austin studio and put every pair together by hand. Seeing a sketch turn into a real pair you can wear never gets old. That gold flake acrylic was a one of a kind piece that I can no longer source.
