Emerald Green Shell Drop Earrings | Drawbench Shell Beads | Yellow Austrian Glass & Rhinestone Rondelles | Sterling Silver Hooks | 76mm 💚💛✨

Long ovals of deep emerald shell, laced with fine silvery-turquoise lines and topped with a glowing lemon-yellow crystal — fresh, colourful and full of life. 🌿

These 76mm drop earrings are all about vivid colour. Each earring hangs from a sterling silver shepherd's hook, and at its heart is a 31mm long oval shell bead in rich emerald green, shifting from deep forest green to soft teal. Its surface has a drawbench finish, a web of fine, silvery-turquoise lines that criss-cross the shell like delicate veins or tiny branches. Above it, an 8mm premium Austrian faceted glass bead in a bright lemon-yellow, with a soft golden sheen, is framed between two silver coloured rondelles set with clear rhinestones, adding a touch of sparkle and a bold, cheerful contrast. Lightweight and eye-catching, they swing beautifully with every movement. 💚

• 31mm long oval emerald green drawbench shell beads
• 8mm premium Austrian faceted glass beads in yellow

What are Shell Beads? 🐚
Shell beads are cut and polished from the lustrous inner layer of shell, the same mother-of-pearl material that lines a pearl oyster. Shell has been shaped into beads and ornaments for thousands of years, long valued for its soft, natural glow, and it takes colour beautifully, which is why shell beads come in such a wide range of rich shades. The emerald green here is a modern, vivid finish, and the fine drawbench lines give each bead its own individual pattern, so no two ovals are ever exactly alike. 🌊

What is Austrian Crystal Glass? 💎
Austria has been a centre of fine crystal and glass cutting for well over a century, with the Tyrol region home to a precision-cut crystal industry since the 1890s. Premium Austrian glass beads are known for their clarity, their sharp, even facets and their brilliant sparkle, which is why they have long been prized by jewellery makers. The tiny facets on these yellow beads catch the light from every angle, giving a warm, golden shimmer that contrasts beautifully with the cool green shell. ✨

Bright, joyful and easy to wear, these earrings lift almost any outfit, from denim and white tees to a simple black dress. A lovely gift for anyone who loves colour. 🎁

Caring for your earrings: 💎

• Avoid contact with perfume, lotion and water, as these can dull the shell and the rhinestones
• Take them off before swimming, bathing or exercising
• Store in a soft pouch or lined box, away from other jewellery
• Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wear
• Handle the shell beads gently, as they can chip or scratch if knocked

As each pair is handmade, slight variations in the shell's colour and line pattern may occur, making every pair unique. 🌸
