Kristin Belew: Tiny Cowrie Dangle Earrings

Tiny Isabellaʻs Cowrie earrings- Most Shells of this species are under 1" They generally have small black lines trailing to a terminal dot, but the black lines have eroded away.

Each piece of jewelry I create starts with finding an empty shell underwater or on the beaches here in Hawaii.  I do not harm marine life in the process and only take empty shells.  I then clean, cut, and/or drill them to create these final products.  I love showing people the beauty of the remnants of marine life from the inside out. Please enjoy my jewelry and know that it was created ethically and sustainably. Wire wraps, clasps and earring hooks are sterling silver or Gold filled.  Chains are Sterling plated unless noted SS.
