These dainty mussel earrings were made from a little pair of shells found at the waterfront in Sleepy Hollow, NY.

These are delicately sized. Together, the pure silver shells with sterling silver hooks measure just under 1" tall / 24mm.

These earrings are handmade from silver clay — a delightful product composed of microscopic particles of silver in a small amount of organic binder. Once the clay is shaped, dried and polished, it is kiln fired at high temperatures, during which the binder burns off and only the pure metal jewelry remains. After a thorough hand polishing, pieces are packaged and shipped in protective tarnish-resistant bags from my studio to you. Made with care, sent with love.
