Sugar Mill in Square Post Earrings

These sugar mill post earrings are a reminder of the icons that still stand all over St. Croix and the other U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sugar mills are authentic stone structures from the 1750s that still exist on island.

These “sheds” were actually used to process cane sugar for decades.

Carla symbolizes the historic value of this St. Croix heritage by hand making her version of these sugar mill earrings.

The sugar mills are soldered into silver squares and she completes the earrings by soldering on sterling silver posts.
