Midnight Abalone Oval Drop Earrings
More Than Jewelry. It’s You, the Treasure.
The Midnight Abalone Oval Drop Earrings offer a dramatic yet refined take on the classic oval drop silhouette. Each earring features a handcrafted pendant encasing genuine abalone shell, set against a deep black background that amplifies the shell's stunning iridescence.
The oval shape creates an elongating effect on the face, while the abalone shell inside shimmers with tones of deep blue, teal, and purple — colors that shift and change as you move. The black background acts like a jeweler's velvet, making each flash of color feel richer and more intentional.
Hand-formed in mixed metals with meticulous attention to the work, these drop earrings have a satisfying weight that feels substantial without heaviness. The ear french hook allows gentle movement, so the light plays across the shell's surface with every gesture.
This design sits at the intersection of elegant and organic — equally at home with a cocktail dress and a favorite pair of jeans. The midnight-dark palette makes them a year-round staple, from summer evenings to winter holiday gatherings.
Part of the Abalone Shell collection, these earrings celebrate the ocean's most captivating material. Pair them with the Statement Abalone Shell Oval Ring for a coordinated artisan jewelry look.
Handcrafted in Florida with genuine abalone shell. Each pair is unique.
MATERIALS & DETAILS
• Oval pendant: 30 mm x 15 mm, Total length: approx. 45 mm (1.75 inches)
• Natural abalone shell fragments (each piece is unique)
• Black pigmented crystal with glass-like finish
• Black metal-coated brass frame
• Sterling silver French hooks
• Lightweight for the statement size
Every piece starts with materials I would wear every day myself. USA made 14k gold filled or sterling silver, natural stones, and pressed flowers I set by hand. Here is exactly what goes into each part.
14k Gold Filled
Gold filled is not plating. A thick layer of solid 14k gold is bonded to a jeweler's brass core under heat and pressure, so the piece carries about 100 times more gold than a thin flash plate. That is why it holds its color through daily wear instead of rubbing thin at the edges.
925 Sterling Silver
Solid sterling, bright and cool against the skin. I also offer an oxidized finish, a soft blackened patina that deepens the look of a stack and sits beautifully next to your gold pieces.
Signature Crystals
This is the part I also make by hand. Semi-precious gemstones, real dried botanicals, and Swarovski crystals, arranged one at a time and sealed under UV stable resin that stays glass-clear rather than yellowing. Because the elements are natural, no two are ever exactly alike.
Made in My Florida Studio
I make every piece to order in my studio here in Florida. Small differences in flower placement, stone color, or the depth of a crystal are part of the design, not a flaw.
Made for Sensitive Ears and Skin
My fashion studs use surgical steel posts and backs, chosen for ears that react to almost everything else.
Artisan Frames (Pendants and Earrings)
The statement frames are lead free and nickel free brass, finished with a heavy gold plate for a rich, high-shine luster.
