Midnight Tide Abalone Statement Earrings
Larger chips of abalone shell set against a deep black background, bigger pieces than we usually make, because at this scale you can actually see what abalone does. The shell doesn't just shine, it shifts: green, blue, violet, a flash of pink, all of it moving as you move. Black is what makes it visible. Against a pale background the color gets lost; against black it reads like light on water at night.
Because here's the thing about statement earrings most of them are a commitment. These aren't. They're noticeably lighter on the ear than the size suggests, which means you can wear them through dinner, through the evening, through the whole thing, and take them off because you're going to bed and not because you can't stand them anymore.
The frames are rhodium plated brass, so they read as bright silver-tone rather than gold. The post and back are surgical steel sturdy, secure, and comfortable for sensitive ears.
Just over 2 inches from post to bottom. Every crystal is hand-poured in our studio and the shell falls differently every time, so no two pairs are ever the same.
- Setting: Hand-poured glass-like resin, rhodium plated brass frame, silver-tone finish
- Closure: Surgical steel post and back, comfortable for sensitive ears
- Size: Just over 2 inches total length
