Marine Pearl and Shell Butterfly Earrings

Butterfly wings cut from mother of pearl, softly iridescent, set into a fine gold-plated frame with a beaded edge. A small freshwater pearl sits at the ear with a clear crystal beneath it, so the pair hangs as a little drop rather than sitting flat. Mother of pearl is shell, so the sheen shifts from pair to pair and no two are exactly alike.

• Material: mother of pearl wings with a freshwater pearl
• Ear posts: 925 sterling silver, lead-free and nickel-free
• Finish: gold-plated frame with a beaded edge
• Made: shell cut and set by hand, so no two pairs match exactly
• How it wears: light enough to keep on from morning through the evening
• Care: Avoid water and perfume; wipe gently with a soft cloth.
