These earrings are a statement of light and motion. The abalone shell captures emerald-green tones that shift with every angle, creating reflections only nature can craft.

Each earring is a sculptural pair where silver flows around the shell with precision, assembled in Taxco using high-definition casting technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is abalone shell fragile?
A: It's more delicate than cubic zirconia, but with normal care it will last years. Avoid direct impact and store in a case. If damaged, we can replace the stone.

Q: Do they change color depending on light?
A: Yes. Abalone shell is iridescent — you'll see greens, blues, and silvery tones depending on angle and lighting. Every movement makes them unique.

Q: Can I wear them in a pool or the ocean?
A: Not recommended. Chlorine and salt accelerate silver oxidation. Remove your earrings before entering the water.
