Mini King Crab Charm Earrings – Playful Marine Design

Description

This smaller version of the Red King Crab is still the size of a quarter, and equally detailed.  I was introduced to the economic importance of the Red King Crab to Alaska while travelling with the Canadian Coast Guard researching a story on their Arctic mandate*.  We made a couple of stops in Dutch Harbour, Alaska, a tiny hamlet but one of North America’s most important fishing ports.  This and the large crab were originally designed for a gift store in the town.
