Paua Shell leaf design earrings with sterling silver stems

I have shaped paua shell into these lovely leafy style earrings and added a sterling silver stem that sits on top.
The earring hooks are also 925 sterling silver

The Paua shell is gathered from Kaikoura near where i live. The vibrant colours & pearly sheen is all natural with blue/purple colours & hints of pink. I cut all pieces with hand tools taking care of the shell and no chemical laquers or resins are used, or needed. Polished by hand for a smooth shine.

Measurement is 5.5cm long from the top of the earring hook.
They sit beautifully ,hanging forward & slightly outwards to catch the light. The backs are natural shell, polished.

I have a pendant that would be a nice match for these earrings http://felt.co.nz/listing/209330/-Paua-Shell-leaf-style-Pendant-with-sterling-silver-

Earrings will arrive in a lovely gift bag ready for giving or treating yourself.

I use NZ Parcel post which usually takes 2-3 days to arrive within NZ. Overseas parcels are insured and can take 2 weeks to arrive. I take care to wrap all parcels safely.

Thanks for looking at my work :-)
