Shell earrings, natural white seashells gilded with gold 18 K, iridescent oval bead made by me, shells St Jacques made by the sea

◆ Coquilles
◆ These earrings are made with the precious help of the Atlantic Ocean, where I live and where I was born.

The sea, has always been for me a source of inspiration and I gather since child all these wonderful treasures she abandons on the beach.

The poetic forms left by the rolling waves on the seashells, used in places, soft and sculptural forms, deserved to be emphasized.
As a metaphor of time passing over our bodies and faces that become less perfect, less smooth, but also more interesting, loaded with a story ...

The marks left by the ocean on these fragile hulls and the roundness of their forms are underlined by 18-carat gold,
as do the Japanese on broken ceramics in the art of Kintsugi.

Beautiful pearls with iridescent effects recall the nacre and mineral textures of the marine world and bring the magic of their color variations depending on the light for this model "Coquilles". A model full of sweetness and magic to make the magical mermaid.

◆ I search the shells for a long time on the beaches of Vendée or Brittany, I clean them, soak them in clear water to remove the salt, then I find the shells that can go together to form the pairs, I prepare them by drawing on it with a secret ingredient that I developed. Finally the gilder plunges them into a gold bath, the gold settles on the patterns I have drawn.

◆ Attention unique piece! There may be differences in colors and shapes between models, and between the two elements of a pair of earrings, this confers a unique character to a handmade realization and for this particular model, the ocean is the master, according to what I find on the beach, so accept the nice surprise :)
