These earrings are crafted from small cupped oyster shells trimmed in gold leaf and sealed with a high gloss finish. Each set is hand selected to ensure the shells are a good match in shape and size.  Sizing is approximate since each set is so unique, but most of the oysters measure between 1″ and 1.25″ long. The 18K gold plated hooks add an additional 0.75″ to the length. Delicate and inspired by the coast, they add a touch of elegance to any outfit.
