When these porcelain clay twirls are first rolled out into a twirl from a ball of clay, they remind me of an unopened flower bloom, twisted tight. And from childhood trips to local caverns, memories of being in awe of the great stalactites and stalagmites and just wanting to touch them… Well - these you can touch, and play with as you wear them!
This listing is for a set of my porcelain clay twirl shard earrings. They will not be the identical shards in the photo, but will be quite similar since I make each clay piece and earring individually through the same process.
