DA-E17

A rectangle stacked above a circle, both cut from mother-of-pearl and dropped from curved gold-plated hooks. Quiet geometry — hard edges set against the cool, pearled surface of the shell.

  • Material: Mother-of-pearl, 18k gold-plated brass
  • Color: White
  • Length: 1.375 in (plus hook)
  • Width: 0.875 in
  • Closure: Curved fish hook
  • Origin: USA

The stacked shapes hang a little under an inch and a half below the ear, light enough to move as you do. Each shell face catches the light differently — cooler here, warmer there — so the earrings never sit quite the same twice.
Details

Mother-of-pearl varies naturally from piece to piece — subtle shifts in tone and sheen are part of the material.

The Story

Mother-of-pearl is the iridescent inner layer of certain mollusk shells, long used in inlay and button-making for the way it catches and scatters light. These earrings put it to a modern purpose: clean rectangles and circles, stacked rather than carved into figures, so the shell's shimmer does the talking.

Designed in the brand's US studio, the piece draws on a minimalist, Art Deco-adjacent language — hard-edged geometry against an inherently soft, organic surface. That contrast, rigid outline against natural variation, is the point.

Sheets of mother-of-pearl are cut into the rectangle and circle shapes, then ground and polished by hand to even the surface without dulling the nacre. Each shape is set into a small gold-plated brass bail and linked to a curved ear hook. Because the shell responds a little differently to its grain with each pass, no two finished earrings look quite identical.

Craft & Care

Avoid moisture and chemicals to preserve the gold plating and the shell's luster. Store in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.

Questions

Is the mother-of-pearl real shell?

Yes. Each piece is cut from genuine mother-of-pearl, so tone and sheen vary naturally from one earring to the next.

Are these earrings hypoallergenic?

The hooks are 18k gold-plated brass. If you have sensitive ears, choose plated pieces you know you tolerate well, since plating can wear over time with heavy contact.

How should I store these to protect the gold plating?

Keep them in a soft pouch away from moisture and chemicals like perfume or lotion, which can dull the plating and the shell's luster.

What does "loss-proof" ear hook mean?

The hooks are curved to sit securely in the earlobe, reducing the chance of an earring slipping out during wear.

Where are these earrings made?

They're designed and crafted in the brand's US studio.
