Richly detailed, these sophisticated, yet very boho earrings feature natural cowrie shells, wire wrap and green & black gemstone beads. Cowrie shells represent the female & fertility in many African cultures; in these wrapped hook style earrings, their "femininity" is private & set to the back, their beautiful golden rings facing forward. Set above the shells are faceted rondelles of green nephrite jade & black toumaline and ornate, sterling-over-copper Bali style bi-cone beads. All the elements are set on sterling wire, hand formed into ear hooks & bound in oxidized sterling wire wrap.
Created to compliment this Tree on the Sea necklace, they'd also be striking all on their own! Purchase them together & use the coupon code SET10 for a 10% discount at checkout.
These original design earrings measure just under 2.5"(6.35 cm) in total length, from the top of the hook's curve, to the bottoms of the cowrie shells.
