Itty Bitty Sea Shells (stud earrings)

These earrings are made from solid sterling silver. I collected the original sea shells from the beach on local Tybee Island, GA. I was so excited to find some this small!

A professional caster made a mold of my original shells to cast the pieces you see here. The benefit of this method of construction is the ability to have 2 perfectly matched shells for the earrings. Once the castings are back in my hands I am able to solder the posts, add the patina, and finish them into the shiny little stud earrings you see here.

The stud earrings are not signed, however if you look closely at the backs you just might see my fingerprint impressed into the metal :-)

The price is for ONE set of studs. You will receive one of the sets from the pictures shown. The studs range in size from 7mm to 5mm in diameter.
