The layers of those old tickets give each item its color and texture, and because no two tickets wore the same story, no two pieces look exactly alike. From earrings inspired by the iconic crescent moon at the zoo entrance to other handcrafted styles, this collection is for anyone who grew up loving that place. If you're looking for a Detroit zoo gift that connects to a real memory, these are made for that.
