Dentalium Earrings — Magenta Cascade

About this piece

These are the kind of earrings that make people lean in and ask what you're wearing — and then you get to say an Indigenous artist from Northern California made them by hand, and no, they can't get a pair just like them. Two dentalium shell tubes arc outward on each earring, connected at the top and bottom by rich magenta pearl beads with white spacer beads between them, creating a graceful open teardrop shape. The shells have that beautiful natural translucence that catches light differently every time you move. Silver-tone fish hook findings connect through a small chain of jump rings, giving these a little extra swing. Approximately 3.5 inches total drop length. Sold as a pair. Silver-tone fish hook ear wires. Dentalium shell, magenta pearl beads, white spacer beads, silver-tone findings. Handmade by an Indigenous artist — each piece is unique. I held these in my hands and thought about the color of fireweed blooming along the creek in July. They're yours now. But only once.

Care: Keep away from water and perfume. Seed beads are durable but the thread that holds them is not invincible — treat gently.
