Lapis, Shimmering Shell, Silver earrings. The main feature of the above one-off eardrops is the beautiful hand-cut and hand-polished white shell, however the fine deep natural blue of the oval cabochons of Afghani Lapis Lazuli set in the hand-worked Silver mounts of the shell make for a nice contrast.
Shell, of course, is not a heavy material, and the above earrings are not heavy enough to cause any problem, even though, with the shell approx 50x30mm in dimensions, they have some size.
Note, the second of the above images shows the rear of one of the pair.
