Cyber Monday Steal Lily And Abalone Droplet Earrings Top Brand [gTStZvcB]

These delightful earrings feature bezel-set swirling abalone teardrops, hanging beneath fine silver lilies that are crafted from vintage charms. These multi-colored earrings are so versatile, and perfect for anyone who loves nature. Hand-formed sterling silver ear wires.

The lily is pressed into fine silver clay, formed into shape, and fired in a kiln at 1650 degrees. Uneven edges give the piece a rustic and organic feeling. Once fired, it is polished and then oxidized to bring out the beautiful 3-dimensional plant details. The result is a stunning pair of earrings that are hand-made and completely one of a kind.

Metal clay is made from powdered precious metal combined with an organic clay-like binder and water. The clay acts as a binder for the silver and is burned away during firing. This leaves a pendant that is 99.9% pure silver, in contrast to sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. It is hypoallergenic.

Abalone is a species of edible sea snail valued in many places of the world. Abalone shell is highly valued for its iridescent, colorful shell. It is created from a kind of calcium carbonate known as nacre which gives it its colorful radiance.

Unfortunately, centuries of abalone extracting for shells and meat have nearly wiped them out in their natural habitat. So, this wild gemstone is now protected as an endangered species, and harvesting for it is strictly restricted, so most that is used for jewelry is sourced from responsible farms.

Abalone healing is said to contain protective and emotional balancing energies. It provides a natural barrier that promotes tranquility and calmness to the person who wears it.

Earrings measure 2" long and 1/2" wide.
