Striped Bivalve Shell Earrings

Part of our Nature Collection, these naturally coloured cream and brown striped bivalve shell earrings are made with real shells and accented with a little freshwater pearl.

All of my shells are hand-picked by me, while we're out beachcombing. Only completely empty shells are collected, and even though they were empty when picked up, the shells have been thoroughly soaked, scrubbed clean with a soft brush, sun dried for a week and finally coated with a clear acrylic coating to help strengthen the shell, enhance the natural colours and help prevent the colours from fading.

These particular shells were still attached at the natural hinge, so they are a perfect matching pair. The shells have been accented with a 7mm freshwater pearl and platinum ear wires.

Earring drop: 4.5cm
Earring width: 2.5cm
Ear wires: Platinum Shepherds hooks
Shell measurement: approximately 2.5cm wide by 2cm high

The colour, pattern and edge on each of the earrings may differ slightly due to the natural variations in the shells, but they are extremely similar in shape, colour and size, as seen in the photos.

All our earrings are handmade with love and care. These earrings are a unique set as no two shells will ever have the exact same colour, shape or pattern.
