Gorgeous Paua & copper earrings

I have shaped & polished Paua shell into little drops and then wrapped them in pure copper wire in a lovely double koru design.
The earring hooks are surgical stainless steel so they are safe for sensitive ears.

The Paua shell is gathered from Kaikoura near where i live. The vibrant colours & pearly sheen is all natural with blue, green & pinky purple. These are a lovely combination with the copper. I use hand tools for cutting to take care of the shell and no chemical laquers or resins are used,or needed. So you & the enviroment are safe.

Measurement is 25mm long from the bottom of the earring hook, so they hang down just a bit longer than this.
They sit beautifully ,hanging forward & slightly outwards to catch the light. Paua shell is difficult to photograph and I use only natural light to show a true representation of the colours in the shell. They tend to look better in real life than in the pictures, so you wont be disappointed.

Earrings will arrive in a lovely organza gift bag ready for giving or treating yourself.
Please ask if you would like a similar pair of earrings in a different size or shape.

I use NZ Parcel post which usually takes 2-3 days to arrive. Items are covered by insurance if you choose the tracked option & I take all care to pack them safely.
Thanks for looking at my work :-)
