Own a treasure inspired by the Maine shoreline with these exquisite Sterling Silver Baby Mussel Shell Earrings by fine jeweler Natalie Reed. The artist's collection is inspired by the unique shells she loved to collect as a girl.
A Piece of Maine's Coastline:
-
Unique Design: Every mussel shell is unique, and this design captures its mirror image, replicating the rough, lined texture that marks the shell’s years and journey.
-
Artisan Craftsmanship: The earrings were originally hand-carved in wax, with each line meticulously cut and sculpted to replicate the mottled blue ribs found on the water's edge.
-
Process: After being cast using the lost wax method, the original model was shrunk, molded, and cast again. The final step applied a beautiful stippled texture.
-
Dimensions: The earrings measure 3/8” long by 1/4” wide. The posts are centered on the mussel, allowing them to sit perfectly on the ear lobe.
-
Material: The current auction item is the beautiful Sterling Silver option.
