Iredale - Modern Handforged Asymmetric Sterling Silver earrings with genuine Cowry sea shells

I’m continuing to explore different materials and here is the latest creation in more of the primitive, organic and ethnic looking style for my Tribal collection.

Beautiful Genuine Cowry Sea Shells are attached to leverbacks earwires. The total length including earwires is approximately 1.5 inches long (~ 40 mm). The shells measure ~ 22x12 mm.

The name of the earrings is originated from the Latin name of these beautiful Cowry seashell - Cypraea hesitate Iredale
