Dainty Daisy Droplet Earrings

Dainty daisy earrings with a sparkling crystal centre. Earrings have hypo-allergenic fish hook wires. Matching pendant available.

This incredibly beautiful shell comes from the coastal waters of New Zealand and surprisingly belongs to a sea snail. In its watery home the snail wouldn’t even rate a second glance but when its protective lime outer layer is removed an amazing array of blue, green and purple shimmering shades are revealed. The Maoris have always treasured the Paua not only for its fantastic shell that it used as inlay in carvings but also for its tasty meat. Because of this fishing is now strictly controlled and although shells may be picked from the beach, divers can only use snorkels and even then there is a limit to the amount that can be taken to prevent over fishing.

Earring diameter 15mm
