Highly detailed ceramic seashells with barnacles clinging to the shells are the focal pieces of these unique earrings. The seashells dangle beneath a framework of positive and negative spaces that mimic shapes one might see in a tidal pool near the seashore. The asymmetrical ceramic shells with barnacles show the wonderful texture and detail in the original, natural seashells. The soldered framework has been oxidized for an aged look. The patina is preserved with metal sealant.
These light weight earrings are approximately 7/8 inch wide by 3 inches in length. The ear wires are non-allergenic titanium. One of the shell earrings weighs 4.4 grams and the other weighs 4.1 grams which is approximately the same weight as 4 paperclips or a bit less than a nickel which weighs 5 grams. These unique earrings will be a great addition to any artisan jewelry collection.

The ceramic seashells were created in clay from molds I made from natural seashells with barnacles. The clay shells look remarkably like the originals.

The photo mannequin is smaller than actual life size so earrings will appear larger than they actually are.
